    How can I keep my flock happy and cool in the summer heat?

    Hi! There are definitely a ton of advice and posts just for this if you figure out search words to use. We are in central IN and have Brahmas and keep them cool with fans(closed drum), deep shade, a low sled full of water, as well as at times watering the ground(can't think of better verbage...

    We heard one trying to crow this morning. He sounds like he's dying lol Plan to split them up this weekend since I believe I have more boys than girls

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    Was hoping for at least one egger pullet but they both look male, meaning they'll all get moved to grow out pen instead of staying with flock as these Mama hatched. Bummer, of well 6 weeks old, they're awfully small lol

    Story of our raising and hatching own to process of mixed flock

    They aren't big enough yet for soup lol I'm waiting patiently since ours are dual purpose but growing quicker than their full dad Brahma so that's good

    Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

    Do you have access to fluorescent lights? My grandparents used to use a 100watt florescent bulb in their barn. We even did it with our winter broody. It kept the ambient temp high enough in the freezing, granted they still had her. Sorry missed the auto on/off. There are devices that could work...

    what brand and kind of incubator is best?

    Thats the kebonnixs several have recommended

    Too many brooder options

    For your ventilation, you could take off top and cover with hardware cloth and do a wind block on one side of run. I've even seen some use filter material/batting overlay on vents to block wind but keep ventilation.

    what brand and kind of incubator is best?

    There are several incubator threads comparing them and every now and again someone gets a faulty one. I really like my kebonnixs (it's on sale right now), it was a Xmas gift last year(23) and have used it a few times. I played with it without eggs to get a feel for it. User friendly I'd say...
