New Chicks Straight to the Coop?

Thanks for the product suggestion. It made me realize some brooder plates can be used as heaters in the winter. One of the reasons we didn't want to spend the money is it's useful for only a few weeks, but if it can also be used in the winter if necessary, then it becomes more worth the money. I am sure I've seen Blooie's heating pad post, and I will be looking it up again if I decide to build one!

Heaters are almost never necessary.
