Thank you so much - I almost wasted a ton of food thinking I had to make that switch before my bag of starter feed ran out. I'll absolutely reuse the brooder - and I've now gathered stones and bricks as doors. Thank you so much for all your help. I feel way more confident now and will report...

Thank you so much - I totally wasn't sure so appreciate you clarifying. I've got the wire cutters out so the door may be a block of wood - do I need to ever close it back up? One more question - do I leave the starter food in the small feeder for them? I'll be switching everyone to grower at...

As always - this is incredibly helpful. I wasn't sure where to put the doors but I get it now and I can make them out of the existing netting and just cut a door out with wire cutters - the goal is to make them small enough but big enough for mom to get back in to? (Sorry dumb Q). I remember...

Thank you so much for this - you're so right, a few more days won't matter and overall I think we're in fine shape. Maybe it was a good idea to get them in that brooder even temporarily as the hutch didn't have the babies and mom "on display" like the brooder does and everyone wanders over to...

Hi! One more q - they are moved and it's so much larger and they seem happier but sometimes mom looks frustrated so I'll get them out this week or open the door... the lead Wyandotte hen came over and it appeared that the two got into it through the netting - all bluster and puffiness but it was...

Thank you! Rocks are a great idea - and I can absolutely do that. To your point they're going to be small for awhile and I'll need to add hardware cloth to the bottom half of the outside of the netting anyway so I should just get her done and in a few days have mom make the call. The new brooder...

This is the BEST advice I've been given by ANYONE and beyond anything I've read... I cannot thank you enough. I'll pick up that brooder (even if it's only for a few days as the underneath area isn't ideal in the barn, kind of gross...) and just get them out of the hutch since it's elevated to...

Hi! Ok this is all new to me and you're scenario seems closest to my situation and question(s). I currently have our mama hen and her two chicks in the rabbit hutch we built which I have in the coop. They are only 4 days old and so far so good but I need to move them to something bigger...
