Barnyard in my...

BATHROOM

Yea that's right, bathroom. Here on the farm we are getting ready for the Spring season, the weather has been a little unpredictable so we are getting a little late start with getting our poultry. When the weather is not cooperating and you don't have an outdoor brooder there are a few options. Baby birds are smelly, noisy, and need to have a constant temperature until the feather out there are few options available if you if you are sans brooder. The bathroom seems like a logical choice, the surfaces are easy to clean, moppable, wipeable, disinfectable sure why not. Don't do it! build another room, invest in a barn, buy juvenile pullets. Yes they look adorable, fluffy, but the constant chatter and chirping is akin to a psychological torture.
