[QUOTE="Hip Hillbilly Farm, post: 25914415, member: 630343"] Has begun! I picked up my first chicks this afternoon. Sigh (of relief). I keep running into their room to check on them. They were loud at first (I figured they will need to get used to here vs. the store). Then I hurried to get their heat lamp set up. The thermometer in their room reads 89 degrees. I hear it should be more like 95. They were huddled together and I was going to move them under the lamp. Then it came to me . . . place the lamp over them. They got real quiet. Here are some pics of our brooder (before I placed heater over the chicks). Get this, I can NOT figure out how to get the water into the receptacle. I simply poured some into the drinky part. But I figured water should be in the white part not just the red. I have the electrolytes in it but most of it is in the kitchen in a container. Constructive criticism welcomed; i.e., heellpppppp!!!!! [/QUOTE]
