That's what I was thinking! One night I wasnt feeling well and forgot to close the coop, and the next morning over half my birds were dead! So I took all the eggs I could find and shoved them into my incubator, now I have 20 babies hatching out on the 21st!Hmm, that might work. Because if you keep the chicks on the top level when they are young but they still have access to the bottom level, if one goes down it might not know how to get back up and will die on cold.
Also, a double deck brooder is cool because if you have two heat sources you could raise to batches of chicks!
