Raising Chicks: What To Know

    • Safe, clean, draft-free room or building

    • Heat lamps and/or heating pads

    • Litter and/or shavings (pine wood shavings are ideal)

    • Brooder guard (circular and expandable)

    • Feeders (4in/chick)

    • Waterer (One quart for 12 chicks)

    • Sanitizing solution

    • Cleaning brushes

    • Rake

    • Thermometer (to maintain temperature)

Tips to Maintain Temperature:

  • Begin heating brooder 24 hours prior to bringing chicks in.

  • Place heat lamp 20 inches above the litter surface.

  • A Thermometer should be placed at the chicks level for accuracy.

  • If chicks are avoiding direct light, it may be too hot. If they are huddled under it, they may be too cold.

  • Do NOT reduce environmental temperature below 55F until birds are at LEAST 6 weeks old.
