I was thinking something like this. http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/Far...jtMOZseIkK_iKMZew5YZQTP3oLf76NhqggaAnGM8P8HAQ

That might work, if the chicks can get over the edge. Were you thinking of setting it down in a cutout or setting it on the floor as is.

All of you are getting snow. I didnt even wear a jacket today...in Missouri!!! It was about 65 and we would normally be stuck in 2 feet of snow

It's not like what you described earlier, but if you're looking for something that'll keep chicks warm, this will work:

Can't tell what kind of surface this one has, and the description doesn't say, but if it's not something that bedding would adhere to, I might just lean in the direction of this one. My thought is that if it's something like hard rubber you could put it in a frame high enough to contain some bedding but low enough that the little ones can get over it easily. The temp shouldn't be enough to create an ignition problem.

I guess I would do almost a step up system with towels so they could navigate up there. I hadn't thought ask the way through. Only on day 3 here!

Wow, all you guys going into lockdown make me sooooo jealous!!!

a question, what's the max number of eggs you have gotten under a bantam hen?? I'm gonna try and see if I can't get Jacey to go broody next spring, but she's the tiniest thing ever...... and I doubt any of my black sex links are gonna go broody.

I would say 7 tops in warmer weather, 5 in colder. It is cute to see them sit on 40 but that dog don't hunt'

So a day or two ago I posted saying I had a dead egg with a blood line. I am not 100% positive but I am pretty sure that egg just hatched!
I got two little guys out (a day early) and a couple pips so 4/10 in terms of movement so far! Yay, the wait continues!
