I use the one pint plastic hang on wire cup. In winter  put water in twice a day. I used these to seperate single Birds out in when I was showing a few year ago. This wall has 150 Barrells and I can seperate out over three hundred birds along with the Cages inside the Building. Where I live the Barrells are faced tho the north and that way no rain or snow in them. They are best in a shady area. Will upload the brooder box's 

That is extremely interesting to use the barrels for individual birds! I thought perhaps they held food or water but now looking at your pic again I can see the screens on the front. How long do you keep the birds in there for?

Hey you two! Cut it out!

Quote: I seperrate all the males to single pens soon as they are about half grown. I clean the Barrell on a three month interval. I have a large woodworking Vacuum so I blow the shaving out. These food grade Barrel are the best and cheapest way to house the birds. Always fresh air and they thrive in them in Winter and summer.

Thanks, I read it. A few differences - they weren't using shipped eggs and working with a specific problem of possible air cell damage and they were laid on the sides. There was too much variation in results between the 4 experiments. As presented the time frames are too narrow (why 4 to 7 days and not 4 to 8) unless this was based on other research. They have a theory started, and need to redo the experiment another 100 times before they can conclusively state anything. And why did they ignore the first 3 days? I might have missed something. To be on the safe side, in the future I will start the turner on Day 4. Who's right? Who's wrong? No one.

I have a large amount of these Box that were made in varying sizes to haul the birds to shows and anywhere else you would like to take them.

What really hurts is the fact that ross had to say it
