New & need advise how to get started

Great ideas everyone! My contribution would be to make sure that your brooder is set up and working several days in advance. Sometimes it can be tricky getting the light set right so that the temperature is regulated properly. Seems like when the room temperature fluctuates (drops at night for instance) the brooder temp can drop too. Was pretty tricky at first but after a week or so things seemed to level out. Ken
