She did and I can't remember the name--- I ordered a feeder so I'll ask again. Out of the 60 or so chicks and ducks, they all made it alive.
I'll post when I find out!
Funny-- I already removed the heavy white shelfing used for the top and dropped 7 bucks on a 5x2' roll of hardware cloth. Now it's nice and light. Also put up a waterer with 3 nipples.

Howdy from North Texas!
So we are just 8 days away from closing and just over 3 weeks until we move into our new place in Justin. I have been collecting scrap wood and piece parts to put together a couple brooders until we are in the new spot. We picked up 11 chicks over the weekend as...
