We're Going to Need a Bigger Brooder...



Feeding the chickens is getting to be exactly like this:



Fortunately, not being at sea, needing a bigger brooder is easily remedied. I added a foot to the walls of the brooder as the chicks are already jumping to the height of the original container. The corner posts are angled in slightly creating a frame that self-centers on the plastic tub.

A nice side-benefit is that the heat lamp can be raised higher since the new walls do a great job at preventing drafts.
