In my favourite book “modern poultry husbandry” (1939) the author writes briefly about hay box brooders.

It was historically used in Lancashire area in England.
Also Solomon Demeke has since the late 90s been trying to popularise this method in rural villages in southern Ethiopia. Solomon has recorded a lot of data about the use of these brooders.

Has anyone here any experience with them? Or any other information to offer?

I’d love to use them for this years run of about 300 hens.
 
I’m planning to use this method with imported Slovenian eggs this year. Hatching out 250-300 Slovenian brown hens.
