Hey guys, i was hoping for some advice on where to find a nice brooder that could hold up to 20 chicks. I want to start buying day olds and raising them to sell. (since ive seen, in my area at least, that there is a demand for pullets from people who do not want to go through raising chicks).
my question is what would be a nice long term brooder that i could maybe keep in the mudroom (my regular coop is built into my mudroom) or my garage. I was thinking a rabbit hutch would be cool. you know, one of those big wooden ones that are up off the ground and have wire doors. im just having a hard time finding something like that. i really dont want to do a plastic tub or anything, i want something nice that baby chicks would feel comfortable growing into pullets in, but would be big enough for them to have room to grow....suggestions? comments? show off your awesome brooders?
