Did I mention I never used heating lights for these gals either? I wanted to go el cheapo route-not using electricity if I didnt have to-it got down to 45 one might last week and they were fine-hearty as ever! SO they are 11 days old and so far so good

The chicenstarter/gamebird starter is 22% protein too which seesm to be good as they are fattening up nicely

haha no silly--the one I made while I was working on my meatie tractor. The high nesting box was missing a rod so I went all out andbuilt a roosting ladder that attaches to the nesting boxes
