Hi everyone,
I am new here and preparing my brooder for my chickies coming the 1st week in April. I am using a large rubbermaid container (only getting 8 chicks) I have read on BYC that some people using a plastic brooder only used a regular 75-100 watt bulb because it was just way too hot with a heat lamp. Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated! Also, how much extra do you see in your electric bill the month your chicks are under the lamp? I just want to be prepared for all of the little extra's
Thank you!!!
