My long suffering
husband has put his foot down. I am no longer allowed to raise chicks in the house, or garage. I can't really say that I disagree (filthy! dusty creatures!), but I need to start raising chicks in Feb. to get ready for the show season next year.
So here are my questions:
Can I let a few broodies raise them? Would they need supplemental heat? Could I simply hang a heat bulb somewhere that they could get under?
Does anyone have plans for a brooder that can be kept outside? (I know they will need supplemental heat)
I have raised several batches of chicks, just not in the Winter.
Any help would be great!
