Changed my mind

So I started out making the brick brooder but it wasn't looking to be as sturdy as I would like.

Then I remembered someone posting about useing a dog crate and it looked like a much better idea with about the same room.  So I pulled out my dog crate which my dogs don't use anymore and cleaned it up.  Some zip ties and left over plastic fencing for the top and voila : chick brooder.
 

All that is left is to get the feeder and waterer and the bulb for the heat.  I plan on getting that saturday at the small animal swap.  I will probably make my own bedding with the chipper.

Next step will be making the chicken tractor.

Also the persimmons are ripening nicely and taste wonderful!
