Decided to get some day old chicks. First time to do so during the winter. Needed to make an easy, inexpensive brooder. This is what I came out with.
Step 1: Get a large sized container.

Step 2: Trace a piece of notebook paper to make a hole in the lid.

Step 3,4,& 5: Cut out the hole, drill holes, and attach a piece of wire.

Step 7: Fill with shavings and a little hay.

Step 8: Don't forget the heat lamp!
Now we're ready for the chicks!
