Wasn't sure if ts should go in raising chicks or here...
Made a slightly larger brooder for our four chicks. Used my son's old small kiddie pool and a few display boards. Scored the cardboard every 6 inches so that it would bend and hug the curves of the pool. Using a stuido microphone stand to hold heat light, nice and easy to raise and lower. Need to add some little roosts for them to play on and am planning on cutting a window to cover with some extra hardware cloth just for some air.
What do you think? Big enough for them until they are ready for outside? When can I put them outside? It's too hot for them now, getting upmto 98 during the day.
Think I'll need a cover before they move to their coop?
