Day 2 - Just What is a Brooder?
I had a good night in my new home last night. It's toasty warm and I like my cuddle buddy. I learned how to drink water and eat my food. My home is called a brooder. I think that's a strange name and wanted to know why it's called that ... so I did a little research.
The word 'Brood' came into being before 1000; Middle English; Old English brōd; cognate with Dutch broed, German Brut. As a Noun; used most often referring to a number of young produced or hatched at one time; a family of offspring or young. As a Verb: to sit upon (eggs) to hatch, as a bird; incubate protect, or cover (young) with wings or body; to think or worry persistently or moodily about; to ponder.
