Moving on up! Bigger brooder yay!

[DenverChickFam]

I just wanted to share our new bigger brooder for our growing girls! I just about broke myself wrangling this gigantic dog crate into our tiny basement bathroom but it paid off.

The girls seem so happy with lots of room to scratch and flap about. All of their pine shavings are ending up all over the dang bathroom (tips welcome) but I'm glad they have so much room now!

Anyway, just sharing that my gals are moving on up in the world with new digs!

I have a large cage too 4x3 feet or so and man it's so much better than a small brooder. They love space. I have also been putting them out in the coop with the run open underneath and they love that too.

Nice! I've heard that using Glad Press 'N Seal on the bottom row of the bars works wonders to keep in shavings... just press it on from the inside so the chicks don't get stuck to it, lol...

Cool coop! @csaylorchickens

You could even do a little flat bed garden on top! I love really want to do that.

OMG Glad press n seal!!! What a smart idea. And thank goodness for your disclaimer because I totally would have tried from the outside and had some sticky and angry girls on my hands. Hahahahahaha. Duh!

All good, lol... I've done similar so I try to add extra tips I can think of... oh, and if doesn't stick really well, just add another strip to the outside so it sticks to itself thru the bars... then no worries of anything sticking to it...
