Yup, after learning of MHP any chick gets raised in my brooder which is enclosed & in my patio. I do keep them in house the first 1 - 2wk to keep an eye on issues & it's daily changes sometimes 2x of their disposable pads. Feeding them FF & having the Horizontal Water Nipple set up is a MAJOR PLUS. Cute goes only so far when having to deal with the dust! Smell not an issue with FF
