Ok so I need a brooder that will hold 25-30 bantam chicks for 5 weeks! I know this is alot but it is a must. I looked in the brooder section, and could only find 1 or 2 possible things. If you have done a brooder like this can you show me the plans and pics?

I have a brooder that will accomodate you,, as soon as I can figure out how to post the #@#$@#$ pics.. (my bad).. just getting frustrated becouse I cant post the pics.. please help the computer inept and I will return the favor with the pics and plans.

here are a few pics, complete with furnishings.. the brooder is 3 feet wide by 5 feet long.. Works great. It is nothing but a 2x4 frame with 3/8" plywood. It sits 45" tall. I built it to be a duplex if needed by adding a divider in the middle. so far I havent had to do that and just leave it open so the chicks can run around in the whole thing.. They love it and I have had great luck with it. The best feature that I like is the little hopper feeder built out of scap wood.. WORKS GREAT.. no spillage and I can monitor the level only filling it about every 2 weeks. any questions , just let me know. Hope you like it.

Just build a large box with a lid cut a hole in the lid and cover with hardware cloth.
