You can make them from a bucket, or use smaller containers for a brooder

Looks like it's too small of an area. Get them in something with ore room....room enough to walk ALL the way around the waterer and feeder.I've tried elevating it but they always manage to mess it up
Ahh ok from your earlier post I thought the coop was done. You don't need the run finished by the way, they can be moved out with coop only.I wish I could move them out sooner but the coop is being built and has no fence. Ps it's some kind of brooder someone gave me.
Watermelon box from the grocery store is free. I use XXL dog crates from Rural King (two zip tied together lengthwise for large batches of chicks). Old Pack-n-Play (playpen) will also work, as well as a really large appliance box set on a tarp in the garage.I wish I could move them out sooner but the coop is being built and has no fence.
