Nice! Glad to hear you are working toward being more independent!

My brooder is set up close to the same just window front and back so I get cross air flow. And a peace of plywood across the top top hold heat more to the back. My roof is also hinged so I can open to make cleaning easier. The chicken brooder is 12 feet quail 4 feet.

I started using hay for baby chicks instead of shavings, I had noticed the chick's all ways had blood in their stool

[@voldyriddle3337]

Blood before or after the hay?

[@Matt-du9ez]

symptom of coccidiosis

[@thehomesteadconsultant]

I have never experienced this. I have brooded MANY rounds of chickens as well as quail and not had an issue. It is important that the wood chips are and stay relatively dry.
