The Brood box

JJ made the  Brood box for the chicks out of recycled materials in the barn. The door I recognize coming from an old early american buffet that was once my Mom's. Nothing gorgeous nor a true valuable antique. Didn't have room for it when I moved out here to the boonies and it was mostly a junk collector.

He will have to fill us in on what else he used.

I have the tool box sitting on top just for weight to hold the top down in case an animal tries to open it up.




The chicks after 4 days in their new home.
On another note, JJ got the squash we bought Saturday in the ground this morning. He is so awesome! It is raining this evening and I'm hoping it will give them a good start. I wasn't able to get out there to check on the progress of the plants in the garden because of the rain.

  1. I used an old cabinet and cabinet door and a scrap piece of 1/4 x 1/4 galv mesh to assemble the brood box.
    Seems to be holding up,havent had any attemted breakins.So just gonna watch it for a bit.Might make the door a double next time so catching the lil critteres is a lil easyer.
