Thank you so much for sharing this helpful information! I will definitely be going that route with the next chicksWelcome to BYC - this is a great place to learn.

For heat, I use a brooder plate - there are great articles here on making your own set up, what's called the Mama Heat Pad, but when I showed it to my spouse he was more in favor of just buying the Brinsea one rather than the work of making our own, especially since we're not the types who have parts lying around.
Here's an article on it - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/brooding-with-mama-heating-pad.67728/
