RE: Chick Update and the new Warming Plate - 4-H and Homesteading

Yep. We're trying to replicate the feel of underneath a mother hen. (That's the goal of an incubator as well.) Each week, the heat can get a little lower or less direct as they gain more and more feathers. By about 8-10 weeks, they won't need it at all. Though because we're in Wyoming and can have snow in May, we'll probably keep them under heat a little longer. I don't know yet... I've never done this in Wyoming before!
