Hey, Guys We are having a little cold spell in mississippi tonight it is going to be 35 tonight. I have 9 , five and a half week old sussex chicks. All but one of the chicks is basicly feathered out,but I am worried about them. They are in a 4'x3' brooder, the top,bottom, and sides are 3/8 particle board with a small 4"x4" window in each side for ventilation, "i have the windows partially blocked tonight". I have 1 100watt bulb about a foot off the floor for them to get under, I have another 100watt bulb and a 67watt bulb basicly in there just to heat the whole brooder. I was wandering if you guys think that will be good? Thanks
