Mine has a hinged door, so i can open it just a little, or a lot. I have quail in it right now, they are getting the next cage i build. If you have an upright board in the front before the door slopes back you get less escapees. Or put an old sheet over the brooder and your head. They won't see an escape route.
and then run into the house and yell "boo" still wearing the sheet.


hey how you feeling
