Building a brooder.

This weekend I have to embark on a new project. This project is going to consist of building a brooder for the chicks that we will be picking up from the hatchery next weekend. I still have to do a bit of research but I don’t think it will require to much work. I know I am going to need some clamps for the heat light that we will need as well as a feeder and waterer. The chicks won’t require too much space to begin with but we will need to adjust things as they grow. Living in the city I never thought I would be building either a chicken coop or a chicken brooder but here I am doing both. I only hope the time and expense are worth it when the chickens are grown and have started laying eggs. It will be interesting to see how it all works out over the coming months. If the chicks survive the long trip home that will be a great start as far as I am concerned because we are traveling about 3 hours to pick them up.
