You can also use the popcorn tins...but they are taller and will need cut down.

No at the present time I do not have a thermostat. I do have plans on controlling them with a thermostat, just needed to get them going for now.
About 18 deg last night. Suppose to get down to 8 deg tonight.
LOL!!
Sounds about the same as what I did...just different materials. DW wanted a lid on. The cookie tins work great...plus...the girls love the cookies!!!
How did you make yours?
I put mine in service yesterday.... working great.
I used the cookie tins and installed a 100 watt lamp in them. I set the tins on a stone block, then set the 3 gal. waters on the heater. Wife checked them as soon as daylight came...cool water, but nothing frozen!
Joe
Yes. I do plan on hatching just to help out the breed if nothing else!!! I do plan on getting NPIP certified also. I have to get my flock all lined out first.

Dorkings are getting bigger. I do have to say that the Dorkings are the most "flighty" birds I have had to date!! These birds are afraid of EVERYTHING!!!
hahahahah

Sorry for being "off the grid" for a while. I got a couple of IMs asking if everything is ok. All is fine on my home front. I lost a couple girls due to predators, an issue I'm working on. The DW left a few girls out one night by mistake.....they didn't make it through the night.
There has...
Sorry I been gone. Had to go back to Illinois for a death in the family.
I have the coops all lined out and the hog pen completed..I will post pics when I get my camera back. The DW had to stay to take care of things with the family and her mother is having cancer surgery on the 23rd......May...
