Hey DTC,
Great looking brood box ! I also liked your story of the rooster ! I grew up on a farm(about 900 acres in southern Missouri - the Ozarks) and we also had a variety of animals including chickens, geese, ducks, pheasants and quail - we raised them. I help make the brood boxes and dealt with the eggs as a child. Had my share of getting chased by roosters on the prowl and by ganders with attitudes. I carried a big stick to enforce my position as caretaker - often though, I relied on my hound to distract the bully birds so I could make my rounds.
Post up a photo of your babies when you get a chance.
