❓ Chicken Brooder FAQs
How long do chicks stay in the brooder?
Most chicks need to stay in a brooder for 4 to 6 weeks, until they develop feathers and can regulate their body temperature.
What temperature should a chicken brooder be?
Start at around 32°C (90°F) during the first week, then reduce by 3°C each week until chicks are fully feathered.
Do I need a cover for my brooder?
Yes — especially as chicks grow and become more curious. Covers help prevent escapes and keep out household pets or drafts.
