It's a common question that sometimes comes with a little pushback, but we stand by our recommendation to use a heat lamp in your brooder. We recognize that people worry about safety issues but done properly and using the right equipment, you can safely use heat lamps. We also understand the inclination to keep your babies warm in a natural way, something that mimics a mother hen's heat.
But despite these arguments and because our number one reason for babies not thriving is because they were not warm enough, we still think a heat lamp is your best option to keep those babies happy at all times.
And no matter what heating option you choose....make sure you are using a thermometer that is placed away from the heat source so you know you are getting an accurate reading.
We welcome your comments and experiences, so please share away!

"Hello, we purchased our CRX chicks from the hatchery. We wanted to let you know they won Grand Champion Meat Pen and Best of Show at the Boone County 4H Fair in KY last week and went into the Sale of Champions. Thank you for offering a quality CRX!"

Kind Regards,
Amy Meyers

It's that time of year again! The hot weather has arrived my friends and it is important to know what to look for when your chickens are overheated and how to keep them CALM, COOL AND COLL"EGG"TED in the rising temps.

If you would like to share your ideas here, or if you are a newbie and have questions....this is a safe place! I have attached an informative article provided by Homestead and Chill that I think you will find useful!

WE HAVE EGGCITING NEWS!!

Our very own Danielle O'Hara is going to start hosting a podcast about everything chickens!! It will be called "Chicken Chat, Cluckin' Good Conversation!" Danielle is 4th generation in our family owned business and has worked at the hatchery for several years, and yes, she is a chicken tender herself!
For her first program content, we are asking that you drop any and all questions about poultry or Mt. Healthy Hatcheries here in the comments where she will pick them up and answer them on her first show!

We are open to any and all other ideas for show topics as well!

Thank you for your input and we hope you are as "eggcited" as we are to get Chicken Chat going! More details to follow soon. :)
