scotslad Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Top tip Remember to cut ventilation holes in it. It is surprising how much u need. Heard off 1 guy couple of season's ago been involved with shooting for years and years, thought he rear day olds and managed to kill 90% first nite, gassed them all, no vents in huts, and i'm talking about thousands of birds Also while in tipping mode watch the gas, as i'm sure u know can be very dagerous as heavier than air will be trapped in a hut below door level, was a bad accident near to me a few years ago, were very lucky to survive and be ok; been at the game for years and really know there stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nats Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Another top tip is to have vents at the rear too so that you can create cross air flow it does help if it is warm when chicks are small. You can keep each vent cracked open so that you get good air flow without letting too much light in to cause feather pecking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul223 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Are you insulating it and panelling the inside walls? Will it need a door to allow the birds out into a run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi Paul yeh i done 2 at back at the bottom like the front window sliders,insulation will be going in the walls,its all been made so it can be taken apart for cleaning and storing away when not used cheer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matth12321 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 you'd be better off putting a window on either side of the shed, it means that no matter which way the wind and rain is coming from you can have a window open without disturbing the temp or conditions in the shed too much. if you are using a gas heater there isn’t rally much need for insulation and it can make ventilation an issue if your not careful.

Paul223 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 personally i prefer insulation, just means more ventilation is required, which is a good thing, but on a cold windy day can make all the difference between a cold shed and a warm shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
