Although there isn't a lot of detail on how this brooder was built, it demonstrates another use for pallets.

Thanks for sharing pictures of your duck coop & run. Hope you'll eventually add some build details! I like the little flower box at the side, always nice to have a pop of color.

Looks like things got off to a good start but the article ended without the coop shown as completed.

Wonderful re-cycle of your prefab brooder! The photos and diagram helped explain your set up, nice job!
It would be helpful to have more specific details on how this was built.

For someone that needs a permanent brooder (vs. using a disposable cardboard brooder), this would work well, especially with the modifications mentioned...a roof and a poop catcher. It would be helpful to have more details on how it was built but wouldn't be too hard to figure out for someone with basic tools and some basic carpentry know-how.

This could be an inexpensive, quick to put together solution for people with young birds too large for their initial brooder and not quite ready to go outside.

That's exactly what I use it for. Can also go in a large coop to transition to the older flock.
