About 19 degrees outside and took care of them through the winter with no added heat. For a first time it was a bit nerve racking for ME...but she did fine! :D<br /><br />Congrats, Leigh.

It *can* be done properly by triple-securing a hanging heat element meant for use around chickens, but unless one has very young chicks, heat isn't necessary. <br />(I say this because I grow chicks out year-round in my trailer coop brooder area, and there is a heat element out there just for those chicks. If chicks are under a broody, they don't need heat to hatch or to thrive.)Bulldogmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773653470602929019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-7088147413351159382013-12-08T15:05:24.525-05:002013-12-08T15:05:24.525-05:00I wish more people could see this, don't need ...I wish more people could see this, don't need to heat coops....and, way too cute!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263092970383782794noreply@blogger.com
