BROODER HOUSE


SHELVES WITH BINS

DAY OLD CHICKS

For the first week the chicks seem to do better with the lights above the bins, not so much for heat but the light kept them spread out more evenly.

BIN WITH SCREEN LID

The bins was purchased from Walmart (under $5.00), I cut the center of the lid out and hot glued the screen (Lowes under $7.00 a roll - 10 lids / 1 roll) to the lid. The screen has enough give to it to place a waterer using a pint size mason jar with the 1/2 water base.

INFRA HEATER PURCHASED FROM CUTLERS

brooder heater has a thermostat , using 4 -250 watt heat lamp - 2 lamps stay on - the other 2 comes on as needed to keep the temperature just right

This is still work in progress, we welcome any questions or comments

Have A Great Day
