Chick brooder setup! Things you need for a chick brooder:1: Bedding. I used pine shavings, but you can also use hemp bedding. There are lots of other options, but these two are the most recommended. 2. Water. All chickens need access to fresh water 24/7. Especially chicks. Their water needs to be checked more often too because it’s more likely to get tipped over or dirty. I added Purina’s Electrolyte Supplement powder to their water to give extra reassurance that they were getting what they need

Here’s how I refresh my chick brooder for 26 chicks (comment “link” for links to all the goods): First I take all the 🐥 out and put them in a box. (Heaven knows I’ve got plenty of Amazon boxes around) I then remove the heat plate, feeder and water, and I clean and refill them. Next, I dispose of the old pet pad and dump out all the used @eatonpetandpasture hemp bedding. ✅ PRO TIP: I’ve tried everything under the sun for chick bedding and this hemp is seriously crazy awesome! It keeps the smell

⚠️Don’t make these common mistakes in your brooder! ⛔️Mistake #1: Using newspaper as bedding - this is much too slippery! I like to use towels for the first 3-5 days, then move to shredded straw. ⛔️Mistake #2: Using a heat lamp - this is a fire risk, too stimulatory, and is hard to regulate. I prefer a brooder plate - it’s energy efficient and the chicks are much happier. ⛔️Mistake #3: Not propping up the water - it’ll get dirty in 5 seconds! Instead, prop it up with some blocks of wood. ⛔️Mista
