LO✨Baby Chick Essentials Checklist✨
✅ Brooder – A safe, contained space for chicks to live in for the first few weeks.
• We use a stock tank (sturdy, easy to clean, keeps them contained).
• Other options: plastic tote, cardboard box, pop-up brooder
• I wouldn’t use a cardboard box with a heat lamp (fire hazard). Use heat plate instead.
✅ Heat Source – Chicks can’t regulate body temperature and need consistent warmth.
• ChickCozy Smart Heater – Safe, energy-efficient, mimics a mother hen.
• Heat lamp – Must be SECURE
• Start at 95°F, lower 5 degrees per week until they’re fully feathered.
✅ Bedding – Keeps the brooder clean, absorbs moisture, and controls odor.
• Eaton Pet & Pasture Hemp Bedding – Low dust, super absorbent, composts fast.
• Pine shavings – Work well but need frequent cleaning.
• Avoid: Cedar (toxic) and newspaper (too slippery).
✅ Chick Starter Feed – High-protein, nutritionally balanced food for growth.
• Essential for strong bones, healthy feathers, and overall development.
• Should be non-medicated unless your chicks are vaccinated for coccidiosis.
✅ Feeder & Waterer – Prevents contamination and waste.
• Chick-sized feeder – Reduces spillage and keeps feed clean.
• Chick-sized waterer – Prevents drowning and keeps bedding out of water.
• Do not use a bowl – Chicks will walk in it, spill it, and poop in it immediately.
✅ Electrolytes & Probiotics – Supports digestion and helps chicks adjust.
• Added to water for the first few days to boost hydration and gut health.
✅ Brooder Cover – Prevents chicks from escaping once they start jumping.
• Hardware cloth, fitted wire lid, or breathable mesh – Keeps chicks in and dust/pets out.

5RThe chicks have all made it to two weeks old which is when I always breathe a sigh of relief! No more worrying about pasty butt or the risk of failure to thrive. But that doesn’t mean the job of tending to your chicks is any less important now than in the first two weeks. Here are my Do’s & Dont’s to keep your chicks thriving!
🐥🐥
DO monitor temperature inside the brooder and be sure to raise the heat source each week. You may need to raise and lower it daily as we get warmer days but still have cool nights.
DO check feed and water multiple times a day to remove any 💩 and bedding the chicks have thrown into it.
DO sprinkle chick grit on top of their feed to prepare them for digesting greens and other treats.
DO offer their starter feed in your hand daily to get them accustomed to you.
DO pick them up by placing your hand below them not by reaching down from above.
DO clean the brooder often and remove any wet bedding promptly.
🐥🐥
DON’T start feeding treats too early. Chick starter has all the nutrition they need.
DON’T forget to keep a screen over the top of the brooder to prevent early high flyers from escaping.
DON’T worry if your chicks are scared of the hand 🖐️ coming into the brooder. With time, and as they realize it’s often holding food and eventually treats, they will get more and more accustomed to you.
DON’T let it get too crowded in the brooder as the chicks grow because that can lead to boredom and negative pecking behaviors. Chicks will be ready for more space / larger accommodations by the time they are a few weeks old.
🐥🐥
My chicks will be moving out of the brooder in about a week when I’ll let them have the secure run that is attached to our coop. I’ll keep two heat lamps on to make sure they have enough warmth as well still be having lows in the 40’s. I’m excited to have them in the bigger space soon because that makes it much easier to bond with them and lap chicken training can commence in earnest!
Do you have any tips to add to my list?

EGWarm enough?
Brooder temperature can be assessed by watching and listening to chick behaviour.
Too cold:
If chicks huddle tightly under the heat source and vocalise loudly, they are too cold.
Too hot:
If they avoid the heat entirely, pant, or hold their wings slightly away from their bodies, they are too hot.
Just right:
When temperature is correct, chicks will spread out evenly throughout the brooder, moving comfortably between warmer and cooler areas, resting quietly in small relaxed groups.
Draughts:
Draughts are a common but overlooked issue. Even if the heat source is adequate, cold air moving at chick level can cause chilling.
Signs include persistent huddling to one side of the brooder, reluctance to move into certain areas, or uneven growth within the group.
Ventilation should provide fresh air without direct airflow across the chicks.

BHThis brooder box has changed the chick game for me!
It was big enough for our 17 babies with room to spare, though now we’re down to 10 babies after some already went to their new home!
Since we got our chicks, all of the Brahmas were getting picked on. I’m not sure why it was only them, but I was able to put the divider in, and they’re all healing up! Unfortunately, once the pecking starts and the girls see red, they’ll keep pecking until any wounded spots heal. Honestly, really grateful to my yesterday self for thinking ahead for my today self on the divider 🙌🏼

DIBuilding a chick brooder doesn’t have to be expensive! 🐣💡
I made this DIY brooder using a 27-gallon storage container, hardware cloth, and zip ties—super budget-friendly and easy to put together! It’s a great alternative to store-bought brooders and provides plenty of space for growing chicks.
✅ Why I love this setup:
✔️ Affordable—costs way less than pre-made brooders
✔️ Secure—keeps chicks safe while allowing airflow
✔️ Simple to clean and modify as chicks grow
🐥 How much space do chicks need? (There’s no one right answer here, so let me know how much space you give your chicks!)
➡️ 0-4 weeks: At least ½ sq. ft. per chick
➡️ 4-8 weeks: At least 1 sq. ft. per chick
➡️ 8+ weeks: At least 2-3 sq. ft. per chick before moving to the coop
🐥 Tip: Make sure to cover the top! Chicks start testing their wings sooner than you think.

DIY baby chick brooder setup 🐥
Keeping things clean, warm, and dust-free while our new baby chicks live inside for the first few months. I switched to hemp bedding this year from @eatonpetandpasture and it’s already making a huge difference compared to what I used before.
Chick Starter + water, electrolytes to start them strong, and heat to keep them cozy — this simple budget friendly setup work great until they outgrow it and need more space.

ROThese two hens have been broody for a few weeks now, resulting in them rarely leaving the nesting boxes to eat or drink which obviously is concerning. So we’re trying this trick to reset the hormone cycle they are apparently stuck in.
We set them in cool water for about 4 mins to help cool down their body temperature in hopes of leveling out their hormones which will in turn break the broody behavior. (Apparently, at certain points in their hormone cycle their body temp rises thus triggering the broodiness.)
It was pretty simple with little drama. In fact, they actually seemed to enjoy it. So I guess it was a spa day for the girls. They were very calm as you can see. Hopefully it works! Fingers crossed!
