Yes right now the 6 chicks are just in a 20 gallon aquarium with a screen lid and they are starting to outgrow it. Usually if its a large batch of chicks I use a medal water tank or a large wood box, but I wanted to make something more permanent and looks nicer. So far we got the frame and floor done.
I can only own 8- 10 as our town changed the rules a bit! So im incubating again hoping for some to hatch!
Basically my new brooder is 8 feet long, 3 feet wide, 2 feet tall, and 3 feet off the ground. It will have 2 sides so I can put quail on one side and chicks on the other, and a large door in the front that swings down for easy cleaning.
That will be nice.! Easy cleaning is what every brooder needs
yay!
That looks great!
It kinda took a long time to finish with us being so busy, but I'm glad so finally get it done.
It was worth the work I'm sure!
