My Brooder STEAL!!

[WhetzelMomma]

I went to our countywide garage sale today.
Not a whole lot to speak of, but I did spot a 2X2X4 galvanized water trough. It looked pretty solid, just a little dirty. So I made a deal for
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!! Those things are EXPENSIVE!! Now I'm set for YEARS with a nice solid brooder to help any hens that don't take to mothering too well.

Perfect size for my five babes!

Joe, I have five in there at the moment. I don't plan on allowing my hens to hatch more than 10 at a time to start out, and I have a tractor that they will be able to move to once they're feathered out.
