Will definitely post pics, thanks for all the tips. I'm sure I'll have more questions when they get here. KVR, now I know what to do with those dog kennels sitting there in the garage just doing nothing.

We are planning on getting chickens as well. We are offgrid and live in Michigan -- I have been researching some ways of keeping the chicks warm without using electricity. Without a heat lamp I think we would put them in a box near our woodstove and maybe put a LED lightbulb inside (which does generate some heat). Anyone else with experience with this?
