Settie Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Can you use a chick eglu instead of a brooder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Not if the chicks have been hatched in an incubator, they will need a brooder......but if they have hatched under a broody, she and they will be fine in an Eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Its really for broody hens raising chicks. You could in theory, but you'd have to have a heat lamp in it, which could be a hazard with it being plastic, and outside. You're better off getting a cardboard box or large plastic storage box for the first couple of weeks at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
