If you put contact paper on the top of the unit, it will make clean-up in between batches of chicks super easy!The fuzzybutts love it. They come out, scratch around, eat, drink, and then go huddle under and around it and nap. Repeat. It's like an artificial mom, and I can't help but think that is beneficial to their well being. One already hopped up on top and pooped on it.
Kinda wish I had two. These guys are going to get big quickly, I may need to split them into two groups (unless I can hurry up and get their coop done!) and it would be nice to have one for each brood box.
