Hi everyone!
I had to start all over with a new flock. My last flock was a mix, but for this flock I went with all Cochins (10 hens, 1 rooster, 1 free unknown sex), half white, half blue/black. Since I don’t raise chicks often, I made my own brooder (temporary/recyclable) out of two large U-Haul boxes, metal strips with holes, all thread, and a window screen. I use a temperature regulator with the heat lamp and put in pine chips. Any comments or tips for improvement?
