You are brilliant! And your chicks are so doggone cute!The azygous chicks are trying out a new way to transition from MHP to coop sleeping. The heating pad cave was really getting cramped and they really don't need much in the way of heat any longer, especially now that the night time temps have climbed out of the freaking 40s ! So I asked my friend who has cats if she had a napping pod that the cats weren't using.
She did and she brought it up today, and we tried it out with the chicks. I put it on top the broody cage they love to loaf on, and they hopped right into it and it appeared they thought it was the best thing since sliced bread was invented.
So tonight I placed it in the bottom nest box where their MHP has been for the past two nights, and they took right to it. I didn't want to let them get used to sleeping in the pine shavings in the nest box and have to break them of it. This way, when I figure they're ready to begin roosting on the perch, I'll simply remove the pod.
Aren't they just the cutest things in their nesting pod? I lined it with Glad Press and Seal so the poops will just shake out in the morning.
