Playpen Brooder

A nice use of an old playpen to make a brooder!

I would advise against the space heater, though. It is a fire risk and also a lot of space heaters have coatings on the heat elements that as they burn off, can produce fumes that are toxic to birds. A heat plate brooder or heat lamp would be a better choice.
Nice use of on-hand materials. I'm concerned about the use of a space heater close to nylon fabric. Every space heater I've ever owned had came with a warning to keep it ___ feet away from any flamable material.

A brooder plate would be safer.
Nice, very simple to make! I like they way you listed all the materials! A few more pictures would be nice, but its good!
An updated showing how it worked would be helpful
All babies need a playpen!
How did this work for you? Please update and I will re-rate.
