Good morning all.

Tomorrow marks the BTL's 3 week old. I have modified their brooder about and/or completely changed it at least 3 times, basically i have done something every weekend. I think this last change will be good until they are fully feathered at can be moved out side.

We took linoleum flooring and put it over my cushion pads that I use for working out (which rarely happens) My DH gets these big crates from his work, he uses them for wood projects. He had two that were the same size already broken down just waiting to be used. We cut a hole in one panel and cut the pool to match the hole size in the wood. Food, water and bedding will stay in the pool and run around time can happen in their "plastic yard" as i call it....

What an awesome brooder love it. You and dh did a fantastic job.

Okay feeder has to go their bills probably won't fit in it much longer.

Thanks!!! Ugh I seen that this morning...what should I use as a feeder now, just a bucket?

A rubber bowl would work they are heavier to turn over or a heavy bowl of some kind in your cupboard lol
or what about making a feeder out of the same as you did for their water except put 3 head holes that way they can't dump it out as easy.

Great ideas!!! I am out shopping right now.i got 2 canvases at Lowe’s 6x9ft for 11.00 a piece! I have a ton of rubber bowls I could use but I do like the tote idea for less waste!!!
