Hey yall!
I had an outdoor brooder built and will have chicks going in there right after Christmas. I live in GA so the lows do not get super low but they definitely get low at night. I was wondering how to make sure that the heating element is right for them if anyone else has done this. We have 2 plates and a lamp but we want to refrain from using the lamp if at all possible. Will the plates be enough for them?
Note:
We are expecting 4-6 chicks. Their brooder IS weather proof and made of wood.
TIA!
