Is it ok to leave chicks with candles?

[Chickn Keaper]

NO NEVER!!! Too many variables, very dangerous, not enough heat!!!

Chicks need a very warm environment, like 32c for the first few days then 30c at a week, etc.
I wouldn't use a candle for heat as I'd be concerned about starting a fire.

fill a mason jar with hot water, wrap it in a t-shirt and do the lid up tightly.

I like your people's answers but the problem is already solved, and the electricity is back.

you might want to edit the original post you made, and just say that its been answered now. A lot of people post without reading through the whole thread

How do I do that? It doesn't have the "report, edit, delete" on the side.

Does it have three dots on the post? If on phone they should be in the bottom left, next to the report button. Might look different for you if on computer.

For me, I can tap the three dots, then it displays option and I can select edit or delete.
You might not have this option, but if not the attention should die down, anyway! The thread will get buried by newer ones and people will stop replying soon, as long as no one boosts it back up again.

Simple question:
Is it ok to leave the chicks with a candle in a ceramic vase instead of a heating lamp? Electricity power break…

Nope. Depending on the age of the chicks they will need more heat than that. I would use a parrafin heater next to the brooder.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend it, but I don’t know if it’s dangerous.

I would be afraid of any potential for fire..I have survived a house fire and a barn fire, so perhaps I'm paranoid
