Are Asil chicks easy to raise in a brooder? I have always heard that they aren't...

 

[JRNash]

Cassidy,seeing how I only have one and it only being two days old, I could NOT answer this with any degree of certainty. I CAN tell you that Lucky behaves like any other chick in a brooder. He is on electrolytes with probiotics,and 24% non medicated chick starter. He also had some boiled goose egg for breakfast. He is very alert and energetic. The brooder light is 250 watts and placed at a height that gives 100 degrees directly beneath it. He seems to prefer the 90 degree range,I checked temp where he spends most of his time. I hope this was helpful

It was actually...I have Asil eggs in my incubator due to hatch on the ninth...I haven't ever raised asils in a brooder,but I have heard its difficult...so I was just wondering...I wasn't sure if you've raised them in a brooder before...though it could also be different for you,because I live in New York...and idk where you live...but we get some pretty harsh winters. And out brooder is an outdoor brooder.
