brooding

  1. L

    is there any way of brooding chicks without electricity?

    I have some eggs in the incubator, and when they hatched i was going to make a brooder and put them up of the allotment in the summer house where we keep all their food. The thing is, i can't get electricity up there so i wouldn't be able to use a heat lamp... i could use a paraffin lamp but it...
