An outdoor sink would be really helpful for cleaning things outdoor. Especially when raising ducklings. There is a lot of small things that need cleaning.

So to increase your growing season consider starting your first 6 weeks of brooding inside. We transition everyday moving little birds to outside mini run, then back in before it gets dark. Then they only spend 2-3 or so weeks outside before you harvest. We finally figured this out with the cornish cross. As soon as they are big enough to mix with other chickens we transition them over.
That means you can order as soon as orders open up with the hatcheries.
Can increase capacity or growing season to increase production... we did a bit of both.

Thank you for the thought.

However, not only am I in the Steamy Southeast where my issue is keeping chickens cool rather than keeping them warm, my DH categorically refuses to have chickens indoors, period.

You might find my brooder interesting.

We've debated whether to try turkeys or ducks next: https://www.amazon.com/Storeys-Guid...=turkey+raising&qid=1636283373&s=books&sr=1-1

"Inside" doesn't necessarily mean the house... could be garage or shed...

And better to ask for forgiveness and make up than for permission. If your DH is a kind generous sort of fellow who works hard for his family and to keep you happy. If you "switch" hobbies... give up spending money on something else so he doesn't financially feel it, most are willing to see the productive hobby is actually beneficial to entire family and well worth the time and money.

Be careful many of these are just the FRAME and you have to buy the aviary netting, chicken wire, hard wire cloth, panels, etc separately. DETAILS. CHECK THE DETAILS. The hardwire cloth is best. Some people like the portable car ports even better that come with side panels, then they only need a bit of hardwire cloth and have space for food storage or Rabbits etc.
