Quote: These things right here are the best thing ever for brooding chicks...even if you have limited space because you can make them in any shape you need or have room for...Mine is in a largeish rectangle thing right now. I had 17 laying breeds, Leghorns, Buff Orpingtons, Red Sex Links and EEs...They were 5 weeks and still had room in there, but I needed the brooder for the 18 chicks I just hatched...so the brooder shuffle continues...then in a few weeks I will move the new hatches outside to make room for the turkeys and chicks coming in May.

And I just use broken down cardboard boxes as a cover...it falls in sometimes, but hey they are big chicks and we are talking about cardboard, so no injuries have occurred.

I like the dog kennel idea. My six chicks are already getting to big for the tote they are in.
 
there was a chicken egg festival in my home town this weekend and we went last night they had several orpingtons they were some of the pretty chickens of all the ones there
