Prepare a suitable home for the arrival of the chicks

Items you will need:
A safe space free from drafts and predators
An infrared heat lamp, 250 watt red bulb
A watering container (specifically for chicks; they can drown if you just provide a bowl)
A feeding container (chicks will not over eat so make sure they have food 24/7)
A box to keep them contained ~2 sq ft per chick
