My dogs keep away most predators like that, snakes are possible though. Would they be safer if I wait until they are a week or so old to put them in there? I planned on keeping them in a watermelon box brooder for a while until they are good to go to the kennel..
I have a 12 by 7 dog kennel that I wrapped in poultry netting. I am going to put a tarp over the top and partly over the sides and brood my chicks in it!! Anybody done this before? How does it work with heat lamp?
My brooder! It is a watermelon box. My chicks haven't came in yet but I already have it set up. I will move the paper towels after a few days then they will be on the pine shavings.
