indoors in a box with a heat lamp and duck crumbs or porridge (not medicated chick crumbs!) - if stepmum is not looking after them...weather is not good for them without warmth - good luck :&>

Hi,same as above, but I use an electric hen for small batches like that far cheaper to run about 10w and far safer if you are using cardboard boxes etc as a brooder less fire risk.
