Got my ten babies yesterday from McMurray. Brought the little girls home to their brooder, an old guinea pig cage. We put cardboard around the outside to keep down drafts. I've got the 250W red heat bulb going and the brooder is in a storage building (a nice wooden one that doubles as DH's workshop). I've got a thermometer in with the chicks. Last night, when I out them in, the temp was up to 80. This morning I checked on them and it was 58. They seem content though. They're under the bulb, but they're not huddled together. Will they be ok? The light is down as far as it will go without being right on top of them.
Thanks!
Thanks!
