We’re making the most of our half acre with chickens and a garden. Here are the things that help us make the most of our small space.
Small chicken coop!
PetsCosset 75" Chicken Coop with Wheels & Ramp
Keep your chicks comfy with automated temperature control
Automated Temperature Control for Chick Brooder
Make sure you get shavings and not anything scented or too fine like sawdust because those are not safe for the little baby chicks!
Pine Shavings for Bedding
They need to be warm for the first few weeks since they can't regulate their temperature very well
Heat Lamp Bulbs
We put ours on bricks in the brooder so it's elevated
Watering Station
We also keep this one elevated as much as we can
Feeding Station
They need this to stay warm until they have enough feathers and are big enough to regulate their temperatures properly. You can hook this up to an automated temperature control so it maintains the right temperature by turning on and off automatically
Heat Lamp
They eat so much!
