I’m just curious of what you’ll use. I’ve been experimenting with different kinds

What will your brooder look like?

For the first few days: Rubbermaid tote and heat lamp and in the house.
After that: I've got an old welping pen from the old owner that I cover with boards. It's about 4x8. I'll put heat lamps in there too. That'll be out in the barn.

One kind I would definitely recommend is a watermelon box. That thing worked better than any others I’ve used so far

Actually the 4x8 one would probs be my ideal. I would use that over any other one in a heartbeat

It’s a bit more sturdy

So how’s it going after changing the humidity? Have you checked it again?

It's about 3ft tall too. Super amazing.
