Redturtles Chicken Brooder

I like this idea ~~~

This is a great idea!

great idea!!!!!

Brilliant ;-)

this is a great idea quick and easy because im only a young chicken breeder and a girl so that is quick and easy for me :_!!!!!!

oh yes I used the baby pool thing a long long time ago, but I had to build a pvc frame to keep the chicken wire from collapsing. The pics are on my BYC personal web page. This year I graduated to using one of those dumpster bags you get at homedepot or lowes, and putting together multiple wire dog crates to fit in the bag I will post a pic when I get my peeps

I love this idea!

haha cool That's exactly what I did about a year ago

looks good to me fast and easy to clean and a small pool will fit right under my kitchen table i never use, im soo going to do it thank you

Love it, so simple, inexpensive, and kind of fun too. My kids would have got a kick out of this one!

This will be perfect as now is the season that people dump their old paddle pools. I got two from the canton for the ducklings and now I can repurpose them in the winter. Easy clean-up too.

Great idea!! Fast and easy indeed

That's such a good idea. Who would have thought our kid's swimming pools would make a good brooder? I'm definately going to try this!

I used the exact same size kiddie pool as my brooder last year, once my ducklings outgrew the 40-gallon watering trough I had them in first. I put the pool on our rolling scaffold, so it was high enough up that the dogs couldn't even see in it. I duck-taped a 1x4 across the top from one end to the other and hung the waterer from that. I'm using that same pool for my Giant Dewlap Toulouse geese now, so I'll have to either buy a new one for this spring or come up with another idea. I'm trolling this site to see what good ideas everybody else has!

Yep, my geese would be mad if I took their pool.

I love it! It is cheap and easy.

If I ever get day olds i'm going to do this

this is a wonderful idea!

How long did you keep your chicks in this? When did they outgrow it, or could you keep them in it until they were ready for their coop?
