I love my chicken hot plates way better than the hanging lamps

I disagree on the heat lamp. I have 2 friends who lost so much because they caused a fire. One lost an entire mansion worth over a million dollars. The other lost a shed and several cars. Not worth the risk.

Im in NW Arkansas, and i also get my chicks from cackle hatchery. So far ive had great luck, all live birds, strong and healthy!

I get all my birds from cackle as well but I live close enough to just drive in and pick em up store front. Good video mate

Nice brooder box. Looks like you have water and feed in wrong containers. I’m not sure how your water is not pouring all out

About adding vinegar to chicken water.... I know that it's very popular to do that but there is evidence from biologist and others who study chickens that providing vinegar in the water can actually lead to dehydration in the long term.

Can one feed them warms, like the ones we use as bait when fishing?
What else can one feed them, other than prepared food? Do they eat cabbage, boiled eggs, crashed nuts, boiled carrots/fish/ grean peas and selery?

How you hang your heat lamp? Thank you.

Lol! I'm not trying to be mean I'm really not but I can tell by the things you are saying that you don't know much about raising chicks. Lol I've raised thousands of chicks I promise you don't have to stick there beak in the water lol. Also the brooder heater is actually better and way safer then the heat lamps are. And non gmo is always a dead give away that you are just repeating things you heard from "pros" on the internet lol. Good feed yes that's a must but anyways cool video well made just get tired of seeing all these people who you can tell have just started raising chickens all the sudden say they are experts and telling other people. And those who don't know any better listen and then they make videos and it's a never ending cycle lol 😆. But fr have a blessed day. You just happen to be the video I was on when I finally decided to say something lol. OH BTW the ACV now that was a great tip. 👍 best of luck and stay blessed 🙏

Dont use a cover over your lamp, you are restricting the heat and your globes life will be halved, brooder must not have corners as they huddle cause mortality
