:eek:   The pictures of the creatures on the pools may give those birds some sort of anxiety complex?  Nice setup, but do those lights keep the temp high enough at that distance?

  In the South, in August?  I bet they do.  I needed some pools for the same purpose 6 weeks ago, and couldn't find any without a built in ladder!

I definitely wouldn't have for the first batch i got in June.
However, the last 3 weeks here have been highs around 103-106 and lows at night in the 80s.
This weeks forcast looks about the same highs around 98-100 and lows in the low 80s. NO CHANCE OF RAIN. (My soybeans are having a tough time)
I will probably have to turn the lights out and just turn on the overhead light at some point this week. The temp of the room has been steady at 98 and only down to 96 at night.

So is that what you are using right now instead of the horse trailer?  The date on the picture is either in October or January of 2003, I thought that it was an old picture from broodings gone by, in which is the reason why I ask if it was warm enough.

You'll prolly need to put some wire over the tops once you get closer to two weeks to keep them from flying out.

  Look under the legs of your kitchen chairs, or table.  That's what I usually do with manuals.

  Any time losses are in single digits, you done good!

Motivation?    Heck you're an inspiration!   Very impressive work you have done and thanks for sharing.
What are going to do when those birds outgrow those pools and/or start flying out? Are these the birds that are going in that monsterous flight pen you just built?
