In this video I'll be moving chicks from different brooders.  We have a few brooders for different aged chicks.  1-2 months, 2-4 weeks and 1-2 weeks.  You can mix chicks that are different ages if they're close in size.  You wouldn't want to put a day old chicks with some month old chicks.  But day olds with 3 days olds, sure.  1 week olds with 2 week olds, yeah.  1 month olds with 2 month olds, okay.  1 week olds with 2 month olds, no.  

We have indoor brooders and outdoor brooders.  We have 2 out door brooder and 3 indoor brooders.  We hatch out a bunch of chicks each week.  You wouldn't want to put chicks that haven't fully feathered outside unless it's summer and the night time temps are still warm.  

We keep a heat lamp on our chicks for about 3-4 days and then they just get a heat plate.  This is different in the winter as it can be much colder.

Thanks for watching.
