Keeping Baby Chickens Warm

PotomacBob ๐Ÿšซ

Before we had electricity, how did they keep baby chicks warm enough for them to survive to adulthood.

They kept the parents. Chickens existed before man discovered electricity, you know...

But as to bringing chickens to climates they were not naturalised for, keeping them indoors and warm via other animals and log fires would have been the norm.

They kept the parents.

And specifically, they kept the unhatched fertilized eggs and the chicks with the mother hen.

Murray McMurray started his hatchery in 1917, the website mentions incubators. Perhaps search incubator history? From experience, chick's only need warmth for a couple weeks or more depending on weather.

Kerosene.

My grands had a chicken and turkey operation when I was a wee tyke.

The heaters used Kerosene as the fuel to keep the chick's warm in their infancy.

The grands had 6-8 buildings for production of meat birds.

Not just futanari, furry(anthropomorphic) futanari.

'Bird' is, or was, UK slang for a nubile female.

Hence the joke:

Q: What do you if a bird shits on your car?

A: Don't take her out again.

AH-THANKYOU! Tip your server.

Tip your server.

I would, but cow-tipping's really not a thing.

Also, tell that cat to scat.

Don't dip your Ginger Nuts in it too long, it might go soggy and drop off
