Chicks in the old brooder

First snake of the season

So need ur input people on which to use the left one or the right one. I like the right one for summer but for winter I like the left one. I think I will make a removable screen.

Here is the new brooder. Man this thing is huge

So here u got an inside scoop of the first hatch of the season for me for pheasants. 22 red golden 8 yellow golden and 1 peach golden. I really do enjoy this battery brooder. U can watch ur birds a lot more closely then in your typical plywood brooder box. Plus no shavings. I have tried everything for brooding materials even sand and this system is already making me happier that I have switched. These birds are the Tibetan quail only I think 18.

Above two pics are the chickens that were hatched about two weeks ago.

One rack of day old chicks. To many now to keep up with. It is getting frustrating. A lot of work and so far behind.
