WOW! I like those last 3 brooders. Papschmitty, motoclown and CrackyMcZap have put a ton of creativity, functionality and awesomeness into each of these!
I want them all...wwwaaaahhhhhhh!!
NickyPick, I am SO rude...
I notice you have the brooder in your house. If you keep up with the cleaning every day or two you should be ok, but if you wait you could be headed for a chick dust disaster!! These little guys explode with dust after around 2 weeks of age and it is unreal how it...
Temporary brooder until the permanent ones are built...
Here is one of the permanent ones. I know I will need to separate the chicks at around 3 weeks old.
This was made from a packing crate I found on CL's for FREE! I picked up 12.
I can't remember if I have posted mine or not. I am expecting my chicks this month and really want chicks to GET HERE!! Anyway, I thought I'd get your comments on the set up, brooder and stuff:D
I think I got most of the needed items. Tell me what you don't see.
I LOVE the idea of the brooder in the closet as it's better for space and keeps dust down! What is the can on its side to the right of the roost? Also, aren't you worried about the chicks pecking the wire to the thermometer? I showed my wife this thread and she likes the closet idea too:cool:
