If I build it off the ground I can possibly push the width to 4 feet wide and still have a horseshoe configuration so I can move around in there and have some functionality.
Roughly if I push to 3ft bottoms it'll be 100 square feet give and take. Regarding the top I plan on adding a top just not right off the bat.
After looking more deeply. I am debating on just building it off the ground and not up like a shelf. With that I can extend the side height taller.
I have multiple grow out cages for them already and two flight cages. My issue is getting them over that hump in brooder and out of my wife's house lol. What I meant by 2x2 was 2 foot wide bottom and 2 foot tall sides, and encompassing the whole shed sides with it. Making it a horseshoe design...
Hey everyone I have this old metal shed and about 450 bobwhite quail hatching mid may. I was just wanting pick at people's ideas about brooder for them. I'm thinking of a 2x2 open top plywood brooder up like a shelf and built in a horseshoe. Has anyone had success or any better ideas?
Depends on your location, I’m in Oklahoma and I feed High protein Game bird feed to my breeders and hatchlings. 28% protein, I offered crushed oyster shell free range for breeders, and as said above I supplement with kale out of garden.
Evening everyone, I was wondering if anyone had experience converting rabbit cages to brooders? I have multiple different breeds of chicks I have ordered, and trying to save by converting my old rabbit cages.
