Anyone using a freezer for a brooder?

Where are you getting 20 used upright freezers?

People are really happy for someone to take their old fridges and freezers. I just put a post on my local facebook page and had 5 within 2 days.

I would think about turning an old freezer into an incubator, not a brooder.

A brooder should have a hot spot, large enough for all the chicks to get warm, then colder spots where they can learn to regulate their own internal heat. No "BROODER" should have one uniform temp.!

Why not take door off and attach wire. Use heat lamps.
