Cute, but that thing would be such a bitch to clean thoroughly. And look at the mess it's already made by not having a lip to hold the bedding in. And trying to grab chicks that are on the back side of the spool core... no thanks. I'll just keep using a big plastic bin.

I was thinking that's a lot of work for one or two chickens but he's actually talking about raising tons of chicks in there.

It's only going to work for a few weeks though. Then he's going to need a real chicken shed.

Up Goated. You raise chicks?

That thing is tiny. Hopefully it’s only for the young chicks.

Not a bad brooder. You'd need a door on the other side, too. This might be better for ducklings since they won't scratch all the bedding out the sides.

You could probably keep 40 adult quail in there.

@xmasskull you having trouble with your chicks?

No,I wait until chicks are full grown & dressed & packaged @ Wlmart.

It's a lot less smelly that way

You need a dust bath area with quail

"Need" is a strong word. A little cookie sheet with some place and in it works fine

If you can make these to sell to other people hopping on the "chickens are cheaper than eggs!" fad. Make some decent money I bet!
