Have an old galvanized stock waterer that won't hold water, so will
use it to house the peeps.

Have heat hood and bulbs, feeder, waterer. Lamp hooks from ceiling
to allow adjustment in length.

On recommendation of my feed store guy:
--Bought pelletized bedding product made by www.woodypet.com
--Bought 50 lbs of Medicated Purina Start and Grow.

Don't know whether or not medicated was necessary and didn't check to
see if they had non-medicted, but thought it purdent for my first
try.

I'm told to start the lamp a few days before delivery to heat the
bedding up and stabilize the temp.

Anything else I've forgotten or that anyone would recommend to have
before they arrive?
