Crowing
I needed a better brooder system. No room indoors, plus cats. So last year I used one of my rabbit hutches. Worked ok. The nest box held a mamaheating pad well enough. But then I was shy one rabbit cage.
This year I found a good sized rabbit hutch off of craigslist for $40. A very good deal as I am on "light duty" with my dominant arm for the next few months. Building from scratch was just not going to happen.
Its 3 1/2 ft wide and 4 ft long.
So far I've pulled the old doors and loose panels off, removed old nails and screws.
Added longer legs so the bottom sits at waist height for me.
Just finished reattaching door #1, prepped for door # 2. And am deciding if the last wall should also have a door or just be straight hardware cloth.
Think Im leaning towards hardware cloth to the left and a solid hatch door on the right. That way I can reach all corners of the cage.
