We raise about 100 rainbow ranger meat birds every year.

This year I'm trying to brood them without any supplemental heat, no heat lamps or anything.

It's been getting down to the 60's at night, but they have been totally ok in the barn on rotted wood chips without any heat.

Completely off script from what the books tell you to do, but no issues with this number of birds.

I'm feeding non gmo 22% protien chick starter, water with terraganix EM1 probiotic to develop good digestive systems.
