43 x 37 with a red heat lamp... set up in the bonus room. 

Thermometer shows 90 degrees so will drape a cover over the space for the tray and cover half of the window vent on top to adjust the temps up a smidge.  The chicks will add some heat of their own.  

 

Has insulation board and a nice pull out tray.  The floor is 1/2 inch wire so will cover about half with a cup towel for the first few days. 

 

 

Great job, looks very well thought out, you will love it I'm sure!

Thanks.  The young man that builds them is the son of one of our OKIE members.

Congratulations!

spent the day pulling apart the old bantam coop, so now the ducks have a huge enclosure and the guineas have roosts over the top- and i have lots of materials to work with for a silky coop and run- for now they live in the spare bedroom- ready to get them out of there...:)

spelling is no big issue when you got a heart of gold like you do Joe! Speaking of which- Dora one of the cochins you gave me at the gathering in Muskogee is the self appointed beak checker...LOL! She runs around checking to make sure all the beaks are tidy!

things can get flakey at times-

that is Dora, as in Dora the Explorer, she has a curious streak that is always surprising me! The other cochin is over at corals on vacation for a little bit- could ask for sweeter personalities than these from you! Have a good week!
