Here is my super simple, disposable, (nearly free) brooder!

I will add more to the page, when I get home.

OK here's mine. Took me about 8 hours to build it total maybe with 2 little boys trying to help. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=26015

Here is my very first attempt at a brooder followed by my second attempt. Not much expense but a lot of sweat equity!!

Not much but very functional...I'll have better ones made from shipping crates I found free on CL!

this is great! my brooder is a kids swimming pool, ya know the 8 $ kind that you can get for free out of an alley, with plastic lattice zip tied around it, and i added chicken wire too, because the chicks can get out of the lattice (keeps chicks in, and the cat out). i also hung my lamp the same way! so easy to adjust the temp that way...my friends laugh at my frugality but it's alright, i love it!!!! i have 13 chicks in there, there is lots of extra room...they are two weeks old now
