In Success With Baby Chicks, I cover everything you need to know about raising chicks through the brooding period (starting with day-old chicks and ending when they no longer need extra heat), with an emphasis on clear, upbeat, practical advice. The book includes many "Lost Secrets of the Poultry Masters": pieces of advice that were once widely publicized but have been largely forgotten.
No aspect of chicken keeping is as crucial as the brooding period. You can't be successful with chickens unless you raise happy, healthy baby chicks. Everyone knows this is true, but no one else gives it the attention it deserves! You won't get this information anywhere else.
I devote entire chapters to subjects that are normally dismissed in a paragraph or two, such as litter or waterers. Overhead infrared lamp brooding has a chapter to itself. Cold-weather brooding is discussed in detail. I do it because these things are important. Skimping on detail, which is what most books do, leaves the reader in the dark, and the chicks suffer.
