Built a new brooder w/some very happy chicks!!(pictures)

[Rooster61]

Well, when we bought our chicks at TSC we also bought the $20 brooder that was nothing more then a cardboard box with grow food, feeder, and water, and after 2 days I knew it wasn't going to last long, so I set out today to build a new one for them and designed it so I can also use it for a nesting box when I build the coop next month. I was surprised at how easy it was to do after I seen a few pictures on here. From start to finish it only took me about 6 hrs to build.
I was amazed how happy my babies were once they got in it. They all stated running from one end to the other just a flapping their little wings jumping around...very cute to see with 5-7 day old chicks!!

That looks really nice. I might have to share with my carpenter husband for the next batch of chicks.

My son not only loves chick tv, he loves to be in the room with the chicks all the time, I have to chase him out of there so the chicks can get there rest!
