👋 New subscriber here, glad I found your channel. Lots of good info. Thank you 😊

THANK YOU. I'm not a breeder so didn't want to buy an expensive brooder for one clutch of eggs, but want to be semi-prepared in case I need to pull the babies. I bought an incubator for the younguns but this will suffice as I am home 24/7 and can keep an eye out. Just need some confidence in feeding them if necessary now; have no one but youtube to show me how.

Hi how old do baby ring necks have to be to be kept in this specific container

[@alyssaflowers2112]

How hot do you need it?

[@xollaj]

what should i add as the flooring? i was thinking beech woodchips but im not sure

[@feistyfeathers3308]

I have no idea if beech is toxic or has issues. Some wood (cedar especially) is bad. Most people stick to pine or aspen.

@@feistyfeathers3308 Thank you!!!

Hi what age are the chicks?

[@mg-jj1kg]

Hi what the difference between a incubator and Brooder and for new baby you do medium or high

[@feistyfeathers3308]

An incubator is for incubating eggs and is kept at a higher temperature. A brooder is for keeping chicks warm. The temperature of a brooder depends on the age of your chicks, but I recommend medium or low. High could burn them. Always keep an eye on the temperature.

@@feistyfeathers3308 Does has to be expensive one to work better or it can be a cheap one I want to make sure I get the right one I’m sorry thank you

[@ryanvella3805]

How often would you replace the bedding to prevent bacterial growth?

[@feistyfeathers3308]

When it gets too smelly or soiled. It depends on how old the babies are and how many are in the tub. Older babies make a much larger mess.

[@previszla6341]

Can you use a towel under the heating pad then tissue instead of wood shavings

[@kutie1018]

What age would you recommend for this type? Would 2-3 weeks be to young?

[@jasonschultz7964]

Nope you can start there!

[@feistyfeathers3308]

For most species I pull chicks for handfeeding when their pinfeathers are just starting to open. Some species, like ringnecks, are naked longer though. For them I pull at two weeks.

Great video, are you still doing videos? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@feistyfeathers3308]

KZbin has never been my primary platform. Most of my videos go on Facebook and I only occasionally post here.

[@ourlifeaustralia3960]

Where abouts did you get heating mat from

[@ourlifeaustralia3960]

And temperature gauge

[@kathleenmonsegue9700]

Do i put the setting on high or medium?

[@feistyfeathers3308]

Medium or low, depending on the babies. If they're panting a lot and spread out then they are too hot. If they're huddled together and shivering they are cold. It's best to do a test run before putting chicks inside.

[@parrotlet_channel]

How old are these chicks?

[@feistyfeathers3308]

I can't recall. Probably two weeks.

[@Pablothetradeer]

Hi could you givme this heating pad link. I need to buy online

[@feistyfeathers3308]

This one is many years old and I hear newer models have an automatic shut off feature. My veterinarian peruses thrift stores for older models and hoards them.

[@kathleenmonsegue9700]

Theres 3 settings low, medium, and high
