Oh I see now. My thoughts were that using bucket heaters they would set up a convection current inside of the bucket but it may not spread to the extensions off of the buckets.

I've never tried it But I would like to set up a small, thermostated tank type block heater like for a car that hooks into the heater hoses. Im afraid that the water would stay way too warm. And they cost about too much to run constantly.

Put a hotter bulb out in the quail brooder a minute ago. I can't believe how quick it's gone from having to put ice in everyone's water, to wearing a long-sleeve shirt to put birds up. Soon it'll be time to curl up on the couch next to the wood stove and drink cocoa. In between trips outside to make sure that no one is freezing to death, of course. I need to build a mini coop for a pair of my Old English. They will be moving out into the quail grow out pen once the birds in there are big enough to be processed (assuming I don't chicken out again and sell them instead).

Free trailer dunnage in Norman.

Some of these boards should be 77 inches long and either 2x8 or 2x6 unless they kept all of the long ones. The short ones are usually a foot or so long but are still usable for cage material.

Glad to hear that prices are picking up.

Were the pheasants red golden pheasants or yellow golden pheasants? I would pay $30 for a yellow golden hen that was at least a year old, to pair up with the yellow golden yearling cockeral that I got at POOPS. He has turned into a really gorgeous bird. Right now, I have him in the same huge flight pen with the red golden pheasants, but will need to move him out next spring when the hen starts laying again.

MM was going to PM you with this but I decided to post on the thread for those thinking of mixing a bit of feed themselves. Here is some recipes for feed mixing and a tutorial on how to figure protien levels.
