The chicks are being shipped today...I'm just waiting for a phone call from the post office. We made 2 brooder boxes out of plastic storage boxes that I bought at
Wal-Mart. They are nice and warm with food and water just waiting for the chicks. I put down a layer of wood shaving and then paper towel...the hatchery recommends paper towel or cheese cloth for the first 3 days to help keep the chicks from eating too much wood shavings.
Last night DH put together this electrical box that has a dimmer so I can control the heat in both boxes.
DH cut a hole out of the lid of the box and built a frame from scrap wood and added wire to the top.
