Brooder Idea???

[skysoldier]

I have been planning on building a brooder for the 20 chicks I ordered from Cackle last week (hope they come soon). My original was to use OSB or plywood. Then I learned that my oldset son nolonger has his monster sized iguana but he still has the glass terrerium. Would this make a good brooder? It is approx 2'X6' and 2' high. Of course I will thouroughly clean and disinfect if beforehand. Any thoughts about this idea?

I don't see why not. The Dimensions should be fine atleast for the first 3-4 weeks. You can even just use cardboard boxes. I went with a big plastic container so it would be easier to clean.

It'll be fine, but only for a 3-4 weeks as it will not provide good ventilation.
