    good mobile wood made chicken barns but even if chickens are kept dry the need temperature 28 - 29 C to be maintained & constant air flow for high Oxygen concentration & to low Ammonia & CO2 concentration # 👍🇵🇰

    I sent y’all a message about helping me get egg production going to donate to the Hawaii food bank. I’m in talks with them. I just need to get permits to do so. Asking for community support. I have set 7 orders for chicks from mcmurray hatchery for this summer into fall. I’m super excited to work with the different heritage and production breeds. Mahalo! Brandon Lewis-Peters.

    This was one of the better videos I've seen, and very thorough. Even though your video title was about "pasty butt", the fact you included all the useful information about the brooder box, was especially nice! I discovered unknowingly from watching this video, that had set up my heat source correctly (the way you did) by putting the heat source off to the side, so the chicks can find relief if they should become too warm, or, if by chance the temperature outside becomes warmer, the baby chicks won't get too hot, by allowing them a place to go in their own that's more comfortable. Having their temperature too hot, can be just as unsafe as it being too cold, (for obvious reasons), but having the heat source off to the side, is clearly the better way to go, but easily something new chick owners may not consider. As with most living things, particularly mammals, but I'll just say anything with warm blood, if it's too hot or cold for us, how do we feel about it? Plus, when they're babies like that, they need an environment they can thrive in without the challenge of staying warm, since they are without mama hen. I also like how you made your heat lamp so you could adjust it lower at night for them to stay warm. My chicks are so cute and funny. They nod off and fall asleep with their faces smashed into their bedding. At first it scared me, because I thought one of them died. But when they're that small, it's just how they fall asleep sometimes, as their little legs haven't learned to balance themselves just yet. Anyway, a really great video, and very helpful. You have a very down to earth manner about your descriptions and explanations on this potentially life threatening issue for chicks. A person who can talk about something that is (understandably) kind of unpleasant, but presents it with the right kind of emphasis so a person can feel confident about approaching this issue, says to me, that you may be a natural, when it comes to teaching others. Whoever filmed this video, did a really good job also. I don't think I'm so great at either of those, so I appreciate it and notice when someone else does well at something. Anyway, I've rambled long enough. But it's all true, so thanks so much for sharing this video. It was helpful in all the right ways~👍😎👉(and relief for happy, healthy chicks! 🐣🐤🐥). 🥇🏆🎖️

    How do you sex the chicks? I got a shipment of mixed chicks a week ago, and when I use the feather method, it appears that I got all hens. (Spread wings out, see if flight feathers are longer than the inner feathers.) To clairfy, I paid for unsexed, which is cheaper than paying for ten or 15 females, and a couple cockerels. Sort of expected half and half males and females, but it appears they are all female. Do I just wait and see how many of each I got?

      When you get them, dip their beaks in the food and water. Then just place them under the EcoGlow. It should be set low enough for them to touch it with their backs. We like to set the front slightly higher than the back, so it's at a slight angle. That way larger and smaller chicks can find a place along the warm panel that works for them.
