    Best way to move flock to new house?

    Those who have moved a large flock (30+), what's the best way to do it? On the one hand, I'd like to introduce them to our new house in daytime so they can enjoy it (and I can enjoy watching them in our brand new coop and run which are being built), but it'll be easier to catch them into...

    Size brooder&heater for 15 chicks?

    Hi! Me again :) What size heating pad and brooder space do I need for 15 day-old chicks? I'm going to set up an XL plastic dog crate with the MHP in our run, just want to make sure it will be big enough for them. I can possibly set up 2 MHP's if I need to but our budget is limited so I'd...
