Is your dog's unusual barking a secret code for something mysterious?

I was after a bit of inspiration and thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with lots of photos of our set-ups we use for brooding chicks?

Would be useful to give people ideas and help beginners

 

I usually use an indoor rabbit cage or dog crate with an electric hen.

 

I used a Hagen Vision cage last year:

 

I'm planning to hatch some quail over the next few weeks and was thinking of using a vivarium or storage box style as quail chicks are only small and so I find they need to be kept a bit warmer.

 

Feel free to add your photos!

What's with the mop head?

It'a like a chick car wash.

I'm guessing its to act like a bit of a mum to the chicks? snuggle under it if they get cold?

Yeah I just put it in there for them to cwtch up to and snuggle under to get warm
