If you don't mind me asking, where were you in Texas? We just moved here to NC from Houston! It is certainly a big change.We recently moved from Texas back to Ky, and it really ticked DH off that, where we were in Texas previously got more snow this winter than our new home.
33 more days till chick arrival! Had to take a day off of coop/run building after having a 4' ladder go out from under me. Pretty good blood loss but everything else seems ok. On the coast for razor clamming this weekend, a nice change of pace. Got the electrical conduit and wire buried. Will order metal roofing on Monday. Have 3 of 8 panels installed, 4 others built. Doing the final wood work construction to the coop as weather permits. BB has me under the gun-As the saying here goes= Must. Finish. Coop!

Hi everyone!
I'm new around here and researching furiously because I'd like to have some backyard chickens. I've been reading up on the MHP method which I think I like a lot better than the traditional heating lamp. However, a few questions:
I plan on getting my chicks from my local seed and feed, so they're already a few days or a week old and have been in little boxes with lamps. Can you switch them from that to a MHP and will they know how to use it?
Also, how do you know what number to set your heating pad on? I don't want to roast the chicks!
Thanks in advance for your replies,
~Danielle :yiipchick
