Brooding Chicks in Late Winter
Heat, space, and clean water: the non-negotiables if you're starting chicks before Virginia spring fully arrives.
Late-winter chicks get a head start on spring pasture, but only if the brooder is dialed in. Drafts and cold floors undo good intentions fast.
We raise hatchlings with steady warmth and room to grow before they ever see the main flock.
