You may already know this, but you will have to keep your chicks at 95 degrees F for the first week, then 90 degrees F for the second week, and 5 degrees less each week after that down to about 60 degrees or so outside. Your chicks likely will have to be raised in your house or heated garage until spring, when temps get to 50-60 degrees. My guess is they will likely die if you have them outside in your climate, even if you try to heat a brooder there.
