How loud are baby chicks when in the brooder both day & night?

Thanks, this is not something I thought about. I don't really have much choise sinse it's too cold anywere else, but maybe I can put them not in a sleeping place at least. Is it too cold for chicks if it's close to 32 F (0 C)? With heating plate?

Do you have a garage. I’ve been brooding in the garage and it works so well. I’m on my second round with chicks and it wasn’t something I had thought about either so I plopped em in my dinning room. It was a terrible idea, I’m allergic to the dander they create which causes me to have dizzy spells. Moved them to the garage as soon as I found out.

Heat plate (which brand/model) or mama heat pad?
I brood outdoors, in the coop and use the mhp. It was 23 (f) overnight here and this morning my chicks (5 days old) are happy little peeps scampering around.

I have a room in a house which is used as a cold room for potatos and so on and is not a living space. But it can get just above freezing at nights and I was worried it will be to cold. Any other place is well bellow freezing. Maybe a week inside the house and then in that cold room?

If 23 f is good enough then I am happy, no need to sleep with chicks I'll do my best not to let it to be that cold, but some cold nights are coming and everything can happen. Thank you all for the ansvers! After a month or so weather should be getting warmer and unheated spaces will be warm enough.

Yes! It’s much better to start them in a colder environment as opposed to a warm house for a week then a cold environment afterwards. Good luck on your little fluff balls. What a fun adventure chicken keeping is!

My incubator is for 24 but eggs I bought weren't very promising so half that maybe? And having in mind it's my first time.
