So Week One, in the house, 95 degrees; Week Two, in the house, 90 degrees, right? Then Week Three, outside in the outdoor brooder, what were your temps that week, and did you provide any heat at all that week? (I guess I could go back and read the whole thread and find out, but .... easier to just ask, lol).inside the house the first week 95 and 90 so you can keep an eye on them. I
Yes that is correct. But from my experience with my setup keeping the temp with those rules it cooked my chicks almost every single time at over 100 degrees, but don’t worry I adjusted the temp lower before anything could happen. So I ran some tests and closely monitored my babies and found that 80 works as a good temp for me. I should also mention that the room I keep them in is in the high 70s. I keep all of my chicks at 80 now. My lone survivor chicken nugget is at a temp of 80 right now and isn’t even using her lamp she is actually sitting on top of a pair of folded socks that I gave her so that she wouldn’t be lonely as I won’t have any other chicks for her to be with for a few weeks.So Week One, in the house, 95 degrees; Week Two, in the house, 90 degrees, right?

Go for it! That sounds much better than this horrible experience!I have found a farm that is selling hatching eggs of the breed I want and for cheaper than what the hatchery wants for a small order of the chicks. While I know shipping hatching eggs is risky I’ve had decent hatches in the past with shipped eggs. I figured hatching them out my self and trying to raise them would be a little easer on my heart strings then trying to raise chicks from this hatchery and possibly having them all die again.
I hope the shipped eggs work out well for you!I figured hatching them out my self and trying to raise them would be a little easer on my heart strings then trying to raise chicks from this hatchery and possibly having them all die again.
