Anyone Use This Brooder
Our take
Are you contemplating the best brooder setup for your feathered friends? You're not alone!

While mesh flooring promises easier cleanup, there are questions about its practicality, especially during those crucial first days when cardboard or rubber mats are recommended. How do your chickens adjust once the initial bedding is removed? Spoiling our birds is a common sentiment, but we all want what's best for them. Join the conversation and share your experiences with mesh flooring brooders. Let’s cluck about what works and what doesn’t to ensure our birds are happy and healthy!
