I haven't been on here for awhile. I have been busy moving and finally in the farm! My babies are to be shipped on the 1st of June. I was planning on making their original brooder out of the biggest plastic tub I can find. I ended up ordering 25 assorted female chick set for only $47.50 plus free shipping. I thought it was a good deal. Do you think the tub will be OK initially and then make something bigger as they grow? Also, what is the best temp to keep the brooder? 90-95 degrees? How long do you have to keep a heat lamp on for them?
Thanks!
