What Do I Do In the First 24 Hours After the Chicks Arrive?Updated 4 months ago

Be around to care for them for the first 24 hours to make sure everything is going well and to see that the brooder temperature is regulated properly, the food is available when they need it and water is accessible. Please be prepared and educated on raising baby poultry before your order arrives. Report any unsafe delivery to us. You must use a heat source that can maintain a temperature of at least 100 -105 degrees for the first 48 hours in the warm area of your brooder and have a cool area for the chicks to get away from the heat when needed. We do not recommend using puppy pads or heat plates during the first 2 days. The Chicken Coop Company does not guarantee mortalities or morbidities after the safe and timely delivery day of arrival.
