We set up a temporary brooder underneath the coop. We have never had 2 batches of babies at the same time so had to improvise a second area for brooder. Mama is in the coop brooder with her meat babies & the silkies, turkeys, guineas are underneath in temporary brooder. Works out pretty well! Thank you to my hubby, otherwise I would still have babies in my garage with not enough space.

Congrats on finding a solution!

BTW, I'm admiring your round stepping stones. Looks like the good old-fashioned ones with embedded round stones. I once found someone giving away 70 of them on Craigslist. It was a great deal -- except that they are much heavier than I expected, and my little car rode much lower on the drive back from Des Moines.

Yes they are exactly that and I adore them! Plus they come in handy more than I thought. I find myself using them for all kinds of applications. When we bought our property, we found about 20 of them in the barn so that was a score! I had them set up under the coop door so when it gets muddy, I have a solid spot to stand while feeding, watering, ect. Now they are being used to keep the makeshift fence in place but whatever works! I am all about innovation...

And wow I can only imagine a little car full of those. They are HEAVY!

Pics, pics and more pics! All good going into Summer. Downsized by about 15 birds yesterday. The guineas went to the neighbor because they were beating everybody up. They were mean little stinks! Also sold 10 young hens.

I could not break PJ from broody so I caved and got her australorp babies.

Love my turkeys!
