my best tip, you're already doing! that's participate here, ask any and all questions and read everything on this site you can! Most any and every topic will have 2 (or more) different points of view, neither completely right or wrong most of the time,and as you read through you can decide which sounds best suited for you.Yes lol. Don't put he shavings in! Haha. Iam learning as I go. Do you tho have any other ideas for chicks broodys or Roos ? Coops or anything you would like to pass down to a newbie?
