This is a really nice brooder. The parts list is great. Could you possibly add some "how-to" info and pics showing how you cut and spliced the wiring? That would be extremely helpful.
Your pictures are great - and your rooster is absolutely gorgeous! Some text describing their temperament and pros/cons of your "journey" with them would be really helpful, especially for people really interested in Heritage Breeds.

Whew! That was quite the project! It looks sturdy and ready to go!

Pecking! Not all pecks are equal.

What a neat article! Great observations ... and even better descriptions. I'll definitely be paying closer attention to my birds' pecking interactions, now. Thanks, I think!

There is a lot of good insight here. Descriptions on how and why things were done a particular way, including pros and cons of what would change in a do-over. Very nicely done!

What a great article! It's well written and wide-ranging, with just the right touch of humor. And if that wasn't enough, the pictures make it "read" like a story book. Beautiful!

What a great build! The article is short, sweet, clear and easy to follow. The pics are just as good. The exterior arm and chain rig is about the ONLY safe way to use a heat lamp. The suggestion to add some ventilation makes this a top-notch home brooder. Very nicely done!

There's a lot to love about Polish chickens ... at least according to this author! The points are put across well and convincingly, so much so that I might have to have another look at some Polish. Nicely done!

This article is a good read for anyone considering adding a rooster to their flock. No sensationalism. No over=sentimentality. No immediate "Off With His Head!" Nicely done!

There's an old book out there called "Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics." Numbers can tell a powerful story - and can tell it in whatever manner the writer chooses to present them. We need to stay open and logical ... and use our innate common sense to get the true message. Yes. Salmonella is a problem ... we know that. But ... contracting it from our backyard flocks is absolutely preventable. Keep up the good work, BYC'ers!

I had never heard of a chicken moat before reading this article. My education was sadly lacking! This is an awesome concept, cleverly and aesthetically carried out. The only issue I can see is aerial predators - but a few minor tweaks would account for them, as well. What a NEAT idea!

Thank for looking. i too worry about areal predators; however, everything I've read leads me to believe that an aerial strike is very unlikely because of how close together the fences are. Hawks are afraid of getting caught between the fence and there isn't enough room for them to swoop on and strike. If you have or do read anything different please let me know.
I had initially thought of putting an aviary net in the center and attaching it to the fence line. But after looking into i decided to wait until it becomes necessary because of the amount of overhead trees and the leaves they drop and the fact that too me, it being open is much more asthetically pleasing.

Basic and easy to read - a good starting point for new "chicken tenders."
