I did after they outgrew the Rubbermaid tote brooder. I like the deck box one. Very roomy!

I do! I actually use watermelon boxes for my brooder's. They work very well. I posted pics on this thread somewhere.

Where do you get them??? Can you get them in the winter/spring?

Ya check your closest fruit market in the spring!

How long can I keep them in a watermelon carton? I will only have 7 chicks.

 

[chicken_angler]

You could keep them in there a long time if it has a lid!

I mean until they're how old?

 

[chicken_angler]

Well if you put some sort of screen lid over the top, you could have them in there until they are ready to go outside, I guess! The watermelon crates are huge!!

YAY! That would solve a few problems I was worried about.
