Chicks Coming on Tuesday! Last min questions

Put your digital therm approx two inches from the floor of the brooder & check the temp there. That will give you a more accurate reading for your chicks. They will let you know if they are to cold or to hot so watch them (you won't be able to take you eyes off of them anyway)
Have fun & congratulations!!!

Your brooder should be 99 degrees one inch from the floor directly under the light according to what I've read, but the key is to observe the chicks.

They should be moving around freely without avoiding the heat, or worse, huddling under it.

By all means, CALL YOUR POST OFFICE! This can't be stressed enough. You do NOT want any confusion when your peeps arrive. You want to be sure they know how to reach you immediately.
 
I called my post office during my study during school today. lol (Talk about a farmer) I gave them my phone number and my dads(incase they come while i am at school) The brooder temp issue is fixed. Now for another question. Should i put the feed and water in the brooder tonight so it is totaly ready for tommarow
