Cheap entertainent for the neighbors, back and forth......... Nothing I do over here surprises mine anymore, unless I've added something new.Believe me, I thought about it. The "styrobators" could have been easily carried outside, it was 100 degrees plus. The ducklings would have been fine, but the BIG cabinet full of eggs can't be moved and believe me, I was hoping the power would be back on before the house reached 99-100 degrees. Yikes!
Yes, they do not need heat in the day. at night they might though.
They really are great! I have 11 developing from Megan.
Really, does a newbie with 15 (5 day young) chicks need to have lights on these chicks in this heat? Need some help here. I've got a fan on them seem pretty comfy, drinking two quarts of water a day. Its pretty HOT HOT HOT in the shop I've got a fan on them. Is that alright?
No, they do not need a heat lamp on them in this heat. Leave it off during the day. You can put a lower wattage light bulb (like 75-100 watts)in it to keep the temp reasonable at night. It's not good to overheat them, they won't make it.Really, does a newbie with 15 (5 day young) chicks need to have lights on these chicks in this heat? Need some help here.

At 5 days I have my broody box at 90°, they are to young to generate their own heat and I don't want them crowding together so tight that anyone gets crushed. Is you shop staying 90° all night?Really, does a newbie with 15 (5 day young) chicks need to have lights on these chicks in this heat? Need some help here.
