You might down the road consider adding this special stuff to your Super Scratch.

My maintenance feed has everything that I like feeding them, that super scratch is good to feed when it's raining every day to.

It looks nice and I am not trying to rain on your parade, but, is that #8 hardware cloth on the bottom? That small stuff really cakes up with manure. Commercial brooders are about 1/2" material and if you are worried about chicks dropping through, you can lay something temporary over it. The get used to the wire pretty quick.

I’ve never put birds on wire.
Cruel and unusual

 

[sdm111]

Cruel and unusual is letting them eat their own crap on the ground and building cocci then letting their intestines hemmorhage and bleed out till they die of shock

wow

throw some straw on top of the wire and clean it out once a week. Wire will keep moisture/mildew down and the straw will collect poo, provide warmth and footing.
