Ah! My lovely tubs!
Actually I think they are 4' long and 2 'wide. The metal sheep tank is 6', I am pretty sure. The plastic tubs came from Walmart but you can only get them at Christmas. They sell them them for tree storage.
I bought these many years ago when DD got into Guinea Pig showing and needed space for "herds". They like to run together since they are very sociable creatures.
The first year they were $24 each. Now they are almost $40! I looked at buying more last year but was just too cheap. I have mended these numerous times since DD is a bit rough on them when cleaning and now that they are almost impossible to repair she gives them to me! But they are holding in there.

Brandy,
I am so glad you have a close source for chicks. I think you will love all the selections. They are just too much fun to watch mature and it is funny to hear that the roo is already trying to protect his hens. He will be fine. A lot of it will be posturing to see how much you will take, I guess.
None of my BLRW boys have been bad, at all. I let the BLRW trio out to free range each evening and every time Guy sees me he comes running. He is such a love. Although I like to think that, I really understand he knows I mean food and treats. It gives me a warm feeling and a huge smile so I keep thinking he loves his mommy!

Y'all!! Three of my broody's eggs have pipped and I can hear them peeping! I feel like I have posted this everywhere- on FB, on the hatching eggs thread, and now this one, but I am so excited! I am just praying they make it out of their shells ok. I'm worried about the approaching weather and that I won't be able to go check on them as often as I want!
 
Hey everyone! Just letting ya'll know I had a 70% hatch on my white leghorns and buff orpingtons over the weekend. I took all of the advice on the humidity and giving the bator a good scrub down and improved my hatch from 50% last month to 70% this month!!

I have a longish bin .... found it at Lowe's. It is not clear like Amy's but I like it better than any other bin I use as a brooder.

ETA: I have no clue how long it is......I would say at least 3' maybe a little more. It is a darkish blue rubbermaid.

Hmmmm, I guess I'll have to check out Lowe's this weekend. Why do you like it the best, because of it's size?

Juliette

yes the size. actually the length. I have it in the house with ducks in it right now so it is rather messy....but they have plenty of room in it to get under the light, away from the light, and run around a little without walking in food or water.

It looks alot like this one but is rubbermaid....
