[CHICKENS-101] Re: what about brooders - A.k.A. (grow pen)

 

I will probly rais 50 or so some meat birds and some egg layers my best friend has a really fancy brooder the birds go in it as soon as they get home from the store or in the mail. then they are in there for 4 or 5 weeks. it has air filters and a fan and three levels he love it because there is no beding to change and there is no draft on the birds. and then it is all inclosed so it takes less than 325 wats to run the whole thing. it is run buy a thrmastat so it is not a constant draw. but it cost around $900.00 and it does 50-60 birds.
i dont know if it is nessary.
