Please enjoy this simple checklist: 3 steps to prepare for your first baby chicks.

#1, Chicks Need a Brooder

#2, Chicks Need a Heat Source

Baby chicks need warmth. I am a firm opponent of heat lamps. There are countless cases of fires due to heat lamps. Instead I highly recommend the Brinsea Ecoglow Brooder
