So you have the info: the brooder was simple. 4 pieces of plywood, 2 sets of hinges, enough 2x2 posts. We left the plywood whole on the sides, so we didn't have to put a top on it. Cut one in half for the ends, since they're 4x4s. We then cut them in half and put on hinges so we can get in and out easily. Put hooks on the top to hold it up (secure hooks, since we have kids). Put left over 2x2s along the bottom so we had somewhere to screw the boards in along the bottom. The heater holder is just an old metal bookshelf from goodwill. When we're done, we unscrew it, and pack it flat in the shed. It's big enough for up to 32 chicks (as long as you don't keep them in there too long.)

This was SO clever! My husband is planning to make mine, I may have to share and adapt this for our own space!! Very awesome!!
