Hi there - anybody up here in Leelanau county?

I'm not from Leelanau county, but I am from Michigan. I am in Barry County.

Hi again, thanks for the welcome. Does my brooder need a lid or top on it. How well can the babies fly?
Thanks

For the first week, you won't need a lid. Any older and you definitely will. My chicks were flying out of the 2 ft tall brooder at only 6 days old.

Good luck!
