The LaLa Farm channel is an informational and educational - how to - DIY - channel that follows the day to day activities happening around LaLa Farm. LaLa Farm is a small, family owned farm located just south of the Florida - Georgia line in Glen Saint Mary, FL (Northeast Florida). We focus on producing small scale marketable farm products, while moving toward food self-sufficiency for our own family. We breed Registered Kiko, Boer, and Nubian goats for market and meat. We raise our own poultry for meat and eggs. We grow seasonal fruits and vegetables and maintain a colony of bees for honey and pollination of our plants. The goal of our KZfaq channel is to educate and share with our customers, followers, and anyone else interested in the homesteading or small farm lifestyle - our approach to managing the little slice of paradise we call LaLa Farm. Our channel, just like the farm, is truly a family endeavor. On any given week, you may see videos from any number of our family members depending upon the topic being discussed. Each of our family members has unique interests and skills that they bring to our farm. We would love to have you join us - the Robinson family - on our self-sufficiency and homesteading journey by subscribing to our channel.

Hello Rick, I love the ways to heat the chicks. I actually use the first choice. I also secure it with a cable because I too felt it wasn't as stable with just the clamp. thanks for giving your pros and cons. 💕NonnaGrace

You know, that's a great question Mack. I imagine you could - certainly if you are just turning it off an on. I think it would probably work as well to adjust the heat since you are just controlling the current to the heating element. - Rick

My 2 week old chicks are sitting on Top of the heater plate. Can you tell me why they are doing this? I have them in a long plastic tote, which I cover with a towel at night to keep them warm and my house is usually 68 degrees at night. These ladies are the first to ever sleep on top of my heater & I'm perplexed. Thank you

Enjoy your informative videos. That said using temperature control Thermostat with a wired temp sensor to hang around the heat area, Sweeter Heater, you can control the temp below from 75 - 108 deg by turning the heater on/off, example is BN-Link heat mat temp controller for about $19 from Amanzon, I control my OMAYKEY 75W 2 Pack Ceramic Heat Lamp Bulb, Infrared Reptile Heat Emitter Heater Lamps Bulbs for Pet Brooder Coop Chicken from Amazon, 2 for $12.50. You can screw it in a light bulb ceramic fixture mounted in your brooder. I raise about 12 to 15 chicks at a time with it.

Great job! We use different areas for brooding. The final is our Ohio Brooder which is popular in northern climates where it still gets too cold at night.

Hey Rick! Thanks for these great videos. We are getting our first shipment of chicks this week. I've seen some things online that say that if you're taking care of mail order chicks, they need the heat of a heat lamp vs a brooder. Is this true? Thanks for all of your help!

@somethingfancy100 Жыл бұрын

I also heard that about mail order chicks, even with the ones mailed going to stores. I am getting my chicks tomorrow and next week. I am not sure what to use. I got a heat plate from Wilco. Still not sure what to use. Have you found something that works? Thank you!

When brooding chicks, does the heat plate give off enough heat when stood up? Or do you recommend laying them down like in those video?

Does the infrared heater come with the chain or is that something extra you have to get?

@TheLaLaFarm 3 жыл бұрын

Niese - I dont recall if the chain came with it - I believe it did. I bought this heater like 4 years ago. All it is is a simple link chain. You can get it for about .50 per foot. I buy it in bulk for hanging lamps /lights from the ceiling. Whatever I would use a little chain for. I think I bought a 100' length for about $25 online several years ago. - Rick

The pride heater says you can hang it from a chain as well, what does that do?

@TheLaLaFarm 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly - I dont know other than allow you to raise it above what the legs that come with the unit allow it to be raised. I have only every used the legs in the horizontal position. It keeps a good uniform temperature under the plate that way. Thanks for watching. - Rick

this is my mom's account I am a 11-year-old and we are going to get baby chicks and it is 20 - and we are going to billed a Litel insulated box made of wood and it is in a small grane bine that is insulated will that keep them warm

@TheLaLaFarm 2 жыл бұрын

Well thank you for visiting the LaLa Farm. The most important part of raising baby chicks is keeping them warm, out of a draft, and dry. The chart in this video is really important for the temperature of the chicks over the first month. I like to keep a little digital thermometer in the bottom of the coop to know what the temperature is. The chicks will move in and out of he heat source to maintain their body temperature. So making a box that that the chicks cannot escape too hot of a heat source is not good either. Depending upon the breed of chicken you get, they should have all their feathers within 5-6 weeks and you can generally remove the heat source when they have all their feathers. Good luck with your chicks - they will be a lot of fun. - Rick

Lol Pilgrim's Pride. 7:24. It's actually Producer's Pride. Ironically Pilgrim's Pride is who gets the chickens at the end of their lifecycle. Good info though.
