Many threads I watch, I don't get notified for anymore and I don't know why. Then I have to hunt them down. Thanks for the tag.

My heat mat for the chicks' coop brooder is meant to arrive today! I'll be raising them inside when I...

1. Get the heat mat
2. Find a way to run a cable to the coop
3. Do it
4. Find a place for the brooder to go (I'm struggling with this!)
5. Set it all up

How much space do you have in your run, and is it so secure from predators, that you have no problem leaving the coop door open to the run?
Putting a covered brooder in my run was priority for me.
I first bought a small prefab for my hens to raise babies, but it wasn't very secure. I eventually took it apart and used the parts to build a brooder in my big run. The big run is covered completely in hardware cloth. The only problem I have now, is snakes getting in when I leave the door open to the chicken yard. It doesn't happen too often. But, I haven't figured out a way to keep them out completely, when the chickens are out in the yard.

My coop and run are secure. My dad said he'd sort out the electric stuff. I'll be raising the roost ladder so I can fit a cage underneath.

Have you thought of making a roll out, or slide out brooder under the roosts? You might be able to access the brooder without raising your roosts too much that way.

I've done it. I moved the roosts.
