    Maybe rounded or even flat across so she doesn't drag on it. I'm thinking a very young kit could possibly get wedged in the V, especially when they first start crawling in and out of the box. A removable false bottom made of wood could be put inside on top of the wire for added insulation...

    I wouldn't recommend that "V" style opening since it could cause damage to the doe and could be difficult for the kits coming and going, and in very cold weather I'd use more than a carboard liner on wire would since it would be warmer. Maybe a wood insert for lining the bottom during the...

    Quote: I so hope you have wood and a fireplace or wood stove. If so, could you put the bator (and litters, if need be) near it and adjust the distance depending on temp? We have enough firewood to sink a ship, that is the game plan. The chicks I have hatched are 2 weeks so they are easy...

    Quote: Glad your buns will be ok in the garage and hoping you don't lose power! And here I was worried about the heat the last few days with litter due just after a cold snap. When I was about 4 years old and on I recall my neighbor having me come help her turn her eggs that she'd...

    The tiles can be had for much less than $1 each. They're a nice, short lasting little treat for them in milder warm weather when time allows, but with our hot summer temps here they're good for only about 10 minutes. I'd mostly used frozen water pop bottles to help with cooling, if anything...
