Brooder plans

[JacksonPearce]

I’ve got a nice coop and grow out pen, but am still using a Rubbermaid tub as a brooder. I’d really like to build something a bit nicer! Anyone have amazing brooder plans to share? Have you tried a design you love or hate? Share please!

Oooo! That is so cool! My home has an attached greenhouse that I plan to put whatever I build in this time around. I think I’ll keep this setup in mind.

Went thru a couple brooders before the Palace was built....
......but now I mostly brood in the coop.

That's an awesome brooder that your friend framed out for you, and the evolution of brooders is a seriously cool idea to illustrate what you have learned on the journey
