Wow! Thank you guys for all the " what to -watch- out fors"
I really feel like a new mother....completely ignorant to the how-to's of raising these new lives to be healthy and successful!
Looks like I got some revamping to do on my MPH set up...ill post pics so I can get some constructive criticism!? What are some the items used as your MPH'S base?

"skeleton" of MHP. AM I ON the right track??

it is slanting toward the rear.
Is it a good start for 16 chicks?
I can make a larger one if necessary when they get bigger?

with heating pad within 2 pillow cases....
Thoughts...?
