Thinking about getting and incubator, question....

[Johnn]

If i was to get a incubator and hatch out chicks or duckling, what age could i weene them off heat? and what is the best way to do it?

there is alot to learn about riasing them and they need a brooder start temp at 35 and decrece by 5 each week till week 4 then on week 5 they can go outside (temps in celcius here)

if its summer hrat that can be sooner if it winnter then may be longer


its paramount to keep chicken dry till fully feathered and even after that they dont like being wet anyway
