The ULTIMATE Chick Brooder - AMA S10:E5

[@TheSrphatness]

Thanks John. We've been cleaning up the property and will be getting chickens next year. You've been a big help

[@danielleterry180]

This was awesome going to use the tarp method with my brooder coop will make it easier to dump and clean that’s for sure and protect floor of coop

Great video and the brooder on wheels was awesome!

I feel like you need to paint that brooder building. It needs to match the rest. :) But never-the-less, I love all your videos! Thank you for all that you do!

[@AmandusFamilyFarm]

I would love to see the little slide they use! This is great info! Thank you!

[@jecriggs]

Great informative video, John.Thanks for all the really great tips for a portable brooder! The peat moss bedding is something that I would like to try. p.s. I just want to mention that I think the second hitch type you have listed on that fact sheet at 4:50 is supposed to read "taut line hitch". ;-)

Will a 50 gallon rubber made be big enough for a dozen chicks to reach 4 weeks?

I'm really surprised you don't use an Ohio Brooder set up. When I tried to design something like yours, I couldn't keep the heat up high enough even under the lamp (in April when it was staying kind of cold this spring). After asking on a Pastured Poultry Facebook group (which I've found to be much easier to use than the APPPA forums), to be overwhelming suggestion was an Ohio Brooder. This worked wonderfully. This simply allowed the chicks to regulate their own temperature and I have to believe it was more energy efficient. Have you ever toyed with this style of brooder, or more specifically...heat lamp configuration?

That brooder was diferent, wouldnt work for me but that was good. Thanks for sharing.

[@taze27]

Wow, that is just a fantastic idea! Thx for sharing it guys!

Hi John, please tell your friends (Dave and Ginger with the mobile brooder) that if they rig a hitch to the front of their tractor it is easier to push a steerable running gear into place.

Is Troy Bishopp ok? You mentioned you miss him as if he’s gone???

[@candicechristensen1753]

Do you have sheep?!!!

The ultimate chick brooder is the video I just watched before this one. This brooder is also the chicken tractor: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIO0iHyVl8usis0
