Great job! You're absolutely correct, build it tight to start with and you'll never regret it. I will definitely be trying the grinder on hardware cloth next time.
Great job dude! I used hardware cloth when doing some stone work a while back and will never cut it by hand again after trying an angle grinder on it. Did you keep the heat lamps that low?
@@SeriouslyStumpd thanks man! I kept them that low for the first few days and I’ve moved them up twice since (why I used the chains to hang em), I’m now only running two of three too Angle grinder is the way!
@LandFather Gotcha gotcha. I was just curious if they needed that level of heat as they grew. I'd imagine the first week has the highest probability of losing chicks.
@ you have to “harden them off” likes seed starts before planting haha, the most common way to lose chicks is for the brooder to be too cold or drafty and then the huddle together and will suffocate the chicks at the center of the pile. 3-5% mortality is super common with little chickens and I’ve seen that in my own experience, for sometimes no explainable reason 😂
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you’ve got chicken questions. I’ve learned a lot running and building my flock
Great video, spider obviously needs to go…
Thanks buddy, he was spared but evicted

@@Buttons_fix_it thanks for watching! Grinder on hardware cloth is the move, easy quick and accurate
Came out real nice for sure! I too love me some ole wheel horses, they are slightly addicting 😂
@@TheHelmanHomestead I bought two within 10 days of buying the first so I understand what you mean!
Love it mate
@@joshuabull thanks buddy!

@LandFather I didn't think about the suffocation aspect. Makes sense though. Keep up the good work bro!
