put it on wheels then!I will be keeping a variety over time. Mostly LF chicks, but also ducklings, quail, guinea keets. I will most likely put a divider in so I can have 2 sections. Probably not for 6 weeks at a time though...at most should be 3 weeks. I will have a lid on it so flyers should not be a problem
I don't expect to have a ton of hatching.....probably about what I have been doing. But do want to have meat birds growing out periodically.. I tend to use the storage bins when they are really little and have the short stock tank soo....but that is not secure from predators. This will have hinged lids
How is that height for cleaning? I was thinking between 30" and 36" but don't want to hurt my back cleaning it.
That is one AWESOME brooder!, but it also looks waaay expensive. I could not justify that right now since I don't know how long I will keep this up. There were some grat ideas in there though. I really like the water bottles....and the wheels...
Do you have a top on it? Reaching the bottom easily is a big concern for me
Do you know how deep your box is? It is what inspired me to look for a box. I want to hinge the corners so I can fold it away during the off-season for storage.
I don't know what the heck was shipped in this one. It has asian writing on it and the outside is laminated. A bit greasy looking inside, but I will be covering the floor with linoleum. It is wrapped with 5 steel bands and has steel supports at each corner so I am hoping this is all that is holding it together. Then I can flip the panels upside down and around so the smooth edges are down and the laminate is insise for easy wipedown,
Awww......very cute!
I'm planning to do dividers too. I think it will be much more versitile that way. This plywoods on this is about an inch thick so this thing will be heavy!
