Sorry Cows, This Has to Happen

What happens here

Obtain a cardboard box, such as one previously used for a CovePure countertop reverse osmosis system. Cut small access holes (referred to as 'doors') along the bottom edges of the box. These holes should be just large enough to allow baby chicks to comfortably pass through, but restrict entry for larger adult chickens. Once the holes are cut, place the chick waterer and a container of chick starter feed inside the prepared cardboard box.

Goal: Create an enclosure that allows only baby chicks to access feed and water.
