The brooder is very nice and looks spacious. It would be great to see plans, materials used, and in progress pictures added to the article. I would also tow that using chicken wire can be a safety concern in little chicks. They can fit their little heads in it and get hung up.

Thank you for the comment. This is the first thing my husband and I had ever built and I based it on some of the plans that I found in here. I agree with you on the chicken wire. I don't think I would use it again as they did stick their heads thru and I was worried about that. Luckily we didn't have any issues. I used this brooder until they were about 5-6 weeks old and then we finished our coop and they moved out. I had 17 and I think it was a bit crowded by the time we moved them. They definitely could not have stayed in it much longer. Unfortunately I didn't do a very good job of capturing the materials but I did better on the coop. I am planning to post that along with the materials we used as much as I can.
