No power to the brooder, will they be ok????

[MyParadiseFalls]

Our power went out and we have around 100 or so chicks (all 3-4 wks old) out in the brooder, the lowest it’s going to get is 50° tonight, will they be OK?
The brooder is outside.

Yes they will be good.

If you need them to stay warm overnight feed them corn before bed.

If access to gas stove to heat water for bottles if expected to be a long time. I really expect them to huddle and be fine tho.

By 4 weeks old, mine are completely weaned from heat, so I wouldn’t worry. Yours will huddle together and stay warm.
