Mine is housing 34 chicks + two geese right now. Once they can be off the heat lamp - they are with the big chickens!
 
I went super cheap with mine, but it works great!
I use a $5 kiddies swimming pool wrapped in 3 foot high chicken wire. Gives them plenty of room and light.
 
I made my brooder out of a mouse/rat cage. they love it! the only problem is that it's taller than wide/long so it's a bit tight. They don't need a heat lamp 'cause we live in san diego and have no air conditioning so our house is 90 degrees already

I still don't really trust my dog with them. I'm pretty sure she won't try to hurt them once they're big. : )
