Incubator Chicks Need Good House and Care
A detailed guide on raising incubator chicks outlines housing and temperature needs. It covers turning eggs, testing for fertility, moisture control, and the transition from incubator to brooder house with a heater and self feeder, plus advice on sourcing fertile eggs from purebred hens.
How to Raise Brooding Chicks in a Moveable Shed
The guide describes maintaining a constant high but not extreme temperature under a large hover for chicks. Feed them five to six times daily with chick feed or buttermilk mash, and provide clean water constantly. Use clean sand on the floor with chopped straw, sprouted oats at the far end, and a frame shed that can be moved on skids or heavy timbers with an open end or hinged door.
