I'm working on building an incubator out an old recycled frig, can I use the frig thermo to control the lamp?
2nd how many heat sources do I need,
I will be putting in a vent for air and I fan to move the air around,
I'm new at this very new retired and not much else to do with my time...
I'm looking for plans for a chicken tractor layout to move into my garden, not wide but enough room for the birds to move around, idea is to let them earn their keep I guess by working the ground, i'm planning on using pvc pipe for the frame and netting, let me know
thanks

02...
well the girls all 6 survived their 1st night in the outside coop, checked on them this morning after pacing from the house to the coop until about 10 pm or so then My lady told me to come in for the night. Kinda felt like like my daughters 1st date pace pace pace look out the window and pace...
Just put my girls outside today, (at least I hope they are all girls)
I'm missing the chirps already,
figure they were a week old when I got them on 1 Oct,
Learning is harsh I guess and hope I did this right
Got my 1st 6 Chicks on the 1st of Oct this year, no clue as to what I am doing but learning as I go. got the coop and run finished with an outside egg box, reading here and talking to my brother has helped, still a tad bit shaky though, guess we'll see what happens.
