    Debating moving our week old Cornish crosses to the tractor need advice

    Plan to move them to the trampoline tractor we built. And they are currently in that brooder/rabbit tractor. I have since removed some of the plastic since it’s almost 80plus degrees so they aren’t over heated

    Cornish Crosses feed question

    My brooder is a rabbit tractor I built with a tote in it with the heat lamp above it and I’m gonna wrap it in plastic to keep it draft free. And cover the mesh flooring with straw and wood shavings. Was gonna use that barrel but think the tote upside down would be better

    Cornish Crosses feed question

    we are getting 25 of them and are now worried bc we planned to use a out door brooding box. And the weather looks to be dipping down so i plan to wrap the tractor brooding box in plastic so that we can roll it up when its a little warmer till they can go to the big chicken tractor.

    Brooding CC chicks outside

    We are actually using the netting from a trampoline that is used to keep kids from falling out. So it blocks the wind and keeps it nice and draft free in there.
