Just finished building my new outdoor brooder!! It is 2 feet wide,4 feet long and 3.5 feet tall.
I hope the chicks this June like it!!
What do y'all think of it?
Yes it does help a lot thank you Mine was supposed to be a girl but our friend sexed her/him and couldn't really tell here are some pictures if it helps if it turns out to be a roo are they aggressive and do they crow a lot? [/IMG][/IMG]
Please tell me if you know what is the breed of the white spotted chick is in the third picture it is in the row closest to the camera next to the barred rock I got an assortment of rare and brown egg layers from mpc and that chick looks just like the one chick I can not figure the breed of!!!
Yeah thanks for the advise I bought a new thermometer and was a little hot so I raised them up a bit and it perfect. Thanks though I want them to be warm but I don't want six little baked chickies
.
This is my 11th batch of chicks. The reason I have two is with one the temp is 70 ,they are very low wattage. I will take one out and take the temp. To see what it is thanks. Also there are two so they can switch off or be on together. I still have time to experiment.
Here's mine it's a 42in long and 20in wide Rubbermaid container with two heat lamps and a few toys( stuffed toy, mirror, exc.) it's all set up and all I need is my chickies!!!!! I'm expecting 6 female silkie bantams from mpc on the 19th.
