[Iheartchicks<3:)]

View of there stall..

Orange cord attaching to lightbulb is heat lamp...

Orange cord equals heat lamp.. Its looped around roof boards! Nice and secure..

The orange cord coming towards you is the heat lamp...

Final set up.. I have decided to use the birdcage as it is more predator proof and allows more air flow.. Sorry about the dust.. I was moving alot of hay!

Predator Proof (almost me proof.. its so hard to open!)

80 degreed farenheight! (idk how to spell that) PERFFECTO! and i got it on my first time! I was scared i would have to go through and reloop it

I'm getting 100 Red Sex link pullets and 50 Cornish X st run on March 3! What is the difference in red and black sex links? Is it just the color?
