Hi all. I have a little (3' by 4') coop in which I keep three hens. Now that they got old and I gave them to a neighbor, I just ordered 15 (minimum order) chicks that I'm going to try to brood. (I'll give away the excess as they grow.) I've read a lot about the process, and I'm equipped. I have a 250 watt heat lamp with metal reflector that I'll hang from the ceiling. But I can't find a suggested initial height from the floor. Any thoughts? Thanks!
