Chicks escaping brooder

[Kewpieteef]

Has anyone else had issues with chicks being able to get out of the brooder? If so any advice? I feel like I have upgraded and upgraded their brooder size and I'm starting to get frustrated with it. Any advice, tips n tricks will be greatly appreciated!!

As a veteran of baby chick antics I recommend…that you build a lid for it.wood frame with hardware cloth mesh.NOTHING will stop a baby chick from escaping once those cute little minions get their wings! (Except a lid of course)

Your welcome! Believe me I know how devious they can be,I’m currently raising some Owlbeards and I have to chase them around my bird room when I open my lid to fill their feeders.
