The bin is setting on a wheeled cart which makes in convenient to move around to different locations. Then I can have them in whatever room I'm working in and I get to watch them a lot. Which is fun :)

I used a plastic egg carton for the chick feed.

There are two little wood perches which my husband attached so that the chicks can roost on them. They are already using them to sleep on sometimes and they are not even a week old yet!!

You can see the thermometer that is attached to the inside wall of the brooder.

You can see the lamp set up here.

The top of the brooder. There is a wood frame with hardware cloth on the center opening. The lamp clamps to the wood frame on the top.

Here is the frame on the top of the brooder that holds the warming lamp. It is adjustable but sliding across the top of the bin or by moving up higher by taking the long nail pins out of the holes and moving them up to higher holes.
