JaK, I'm so sorry to hear about Mama hen! I feel like we've been keeping step these last few days   :(

Have you managed to get in touch with her owner yet? I hope they appreciate you did all you could for her. Good luck with the babes, keep us informed.

Oh thankyou Joy.  I now have a lamp, what temp should I set it at to start with? Unfortuately Mama died while I was out.  :(

Read my earlier post JAK for advice on operating the brooder.

Thanks HF, I noticed your post shortly after I'd written that. The chicks all seem fine, milling around for a while followed by a big pile up for a snooze.  :)
