Hello, I have 3 babies about 24 hrs old.
I have two questions please,
1) I have a brooder heater and I have no idea what height setting it should be on? It feels very hot to the touch in the middle, I’m worried if the chicks stayed under the middle section for any length of time, with it on its lowest setting, it would burn them. The edges of the brooder heater are obviously much cooler, will they naturally go to spot that’s best for them or could I end up with accidental KFC?!
2) They haven’t eaten or drunk. They just stay under the brooder. I’ve tried showing them the food but they aren’t interested. Should I be doing something?!
