Creative Brooder Contest
Ends TBD, 2026
Spring is right around the corner, and baby chicks, all over the world, are ready to burst out of their shells and into your heart. Unfortunately, the heart is not enough. You'll need a brooder to house those little dinosaurs.
So, no matter the size, material, or complexity... show us your brooder setups! Not only will you be helping others with your ideas, but the most creative and functional (e.g., reusable, easy to clean) brooders will have a chance to win prizes.
Prizes - At least three 3-month PFMs
It's easy to enter, just reply to this thread & attach (upload) a photo of your brooder with a description.
To increase your chances of winning, please read the rules before entering.
