Lol...

thats a brooder box

You got one mang?

The boys down in Mexico had a badass custom galvanized steel brooder box. Don't have much steel but I have the wood and mesh.

Beats using these hamster cages and kennels hahahahaha
The cleanup on this box is going to be super easy too with both ends having hinged doors. One side to cleanup the removable mesh where I will have the food and water and the heated covered end stuffed with hay.

I used cardboard boxes with shop lights... crazy easy and cheap

Ive used bird cages too...

crazy thing, cardboard boxes tend to be bad for taming birds, when they see a hand coming from top they freak out...

Birds cages / brood boxes work better because they get used to seeing people

What’s wrong with a wooden box or even easier Rubbermaid totes. When you need to change em just add straw transfer chicks. Hose out the other one.

Doesn’t matter what you do at that age to tame them. After 3 months or so is when it starts to matter.

Hi, I’m hoping to import some hatching eggs to the UK but was just wondering what American game are like to handle, are they particularly flighty or are they easily tameable and can more than one male be kept together as long as they are raised together?

What gamefowl line are you looking to import to the UK?

I've use plastic totes works good I've also got a few bigger wooden/wire brooders for when they get bigger.

I hope to try some free'ish ranging hopefully if I get an electric fence setup at new place soon enough.
