Peachicks need to be kept in a brooder until they feather out or until the brooder temperature meets the outdoor temperature. Each week that a peachick is in the brooder you should lower the brooder temperature by 5 degrees. This will ease the peachick into lower temperatures with the least amount of stress possible.
Step 3. Plant azaleas, hostas, astilbe or ferns underneath the pine tree. All of these plants love shade and acid, and have foliage that will provide visual interest.
Understory trees and shrubs will be more limited if the tall trees already in the garden offer deep shade, like most maple trees. Use types of understory plants that grow in low light. These include small trees like basswood, yellow birch and Kentucky coffee tree.
