Oh yeah, thanks for that idea Mike! (Julie -- make notes)!!!
I will for sure put something around the bottom of the raised brooder so nothing can get to my precious little peachicks!!!
Yes; make sure to protect the babies from predators getting them through the bottom. Unfortunately, I learned that the hard way. I had a opposum bite off some of the toes of my orpingtons chicks. The opposum couldn't pull them through the hardware cloth but it didn't stop him from hurting them anyway. All of my chicks survived except that some of them grew up to have funny looking feet because some of their toes were amputated by the opposum.
OUCH!! That's crazy!!
