Brinsea  is there anything else?  

I asked because being Mr. Construction SCflock, I wondered if he had made something different.
My hubby actually has some heating panels (mandatory in nursing homes) that we are considering making something for the chicks with. They have thermostats and can be regulated.

So there! Miss know-it-all!

I planned on shipping to WV and sideWing in Jan. or Feb. if that works for them. I really don't need anything in return, unless someone develops a morning after scratch for silkies

This literally made me crack up!!! That is so funny. This will be my first winter with chickens, do they lay much in winter up north?

Sorry.  My weather wouldn't allow shipping until late March.  But, I'd love to play with shipping and setting shipped eggs.  SC:  no silkies for me, thanks!!!!  Marans... yeah.  Ams... yeah!!!

Lazy, what part of the country are you in?

Don't know why it won't quote the part I want to reply to, but the raised brooder absolutely, 100% makes a huge difference. I started brooding the days olds in the house with the brooder on a table, and there was so much difference that I raised all my outside brooders up 3 feet. Now when I walk out to the brooders and squat down, half of them will run to the door. As they start feathering out, they get a little more skittish, but there are always a few that stay pretty tame. The plate heater is so much better at keeping them calm than the light, though I will still use the light for large broods

Ok, I have gotten a lot of negative feedback on my brooder. I did my research and a couple breeders said it was the way to go. But the majority of people that raise chicks told me no way, I was wrong and it wouldn't work. I use a large glass fish aquarium. I believe it's 65 gallons. And I keep it on a coffee table. I LOVE it! The chicks can always see me, it's long enough that one end is the sleep end and the other is food/water & play area. It's easy to clean and holds temps nicely. I really think because the chicks can always see whats going on, they are much more friendly and they know me well. When I go out to the coop/run, they all come running!
