Here is my brooder, made from pallets and sawhorses with cardboard walls. Got my chicks 2 hours ago! Their sounds seem like contented peeping, so I hope they are warm enough?!? They are so cute, I can't stand it!!!
I just built a brooder, roughly 36 sq ft, in our basement. I used pallets and stapled cardboard to them so they couldn't get through the slats. I will have 21 chix in there for roughly 6 weeks while my DH builds the coop. My question for you all is this: my basement temp is only 56 degrees since...
