My chicks arrived from mcmurray today. I have them in the brooder with a heat lamp and heating pad on low under the towels the broider is lined with. They have starter feed and fresh water on the other end. It's only been an hour but they're still chirping like crazy. They're not all huddled together so it seems they're warm enough. And they're not running away from the lamp so they're not too warm. A few are pecking at the feed and getting drinks. There is poop here and there on the towels. Can anyone think of anything else I need to do right now? Oh and how much grit do I need to add to the feed? Just a sprinkle?
