At what temperature should the brooder be kept during the first week that the chicks are in it ? Print E-mail

Answer:

90 degrees will be right for the first week.

The brooder should, of course, have a nursery or runway much cooler than this where the chicks can scratch and exercise when they desire to do so.

They will not need a temperature of 90 degrees continuously, but should have it to go to when wanted.
