Awesome work!

And i can tell you that you are going to be SO glad for years to come that you made that awesome brooder.

My hubby made me a big outdoor brooder out of a big shipping crate, and having a convenient, constructed facility for all kinds of chicken things - is so much more wonderful than chicks in a box in the living room!

Nice conversion, way to use what's on hand.

I had eleven 8 week old SLW's in the bathub, so I'm sure you'll be fine, room wise!

Wow!! This looks amazing!!! Enjoy your new chicks!

You have 11 8 Week Old SLW in a bathtub?

I have 17 mixed 5 week olds, in a 4'x8' coop, and it's too small. How can you fit 11 8 week old chicks in a bathtub?

That must be a HUGE bathtub!! I have 23 two weekers in a 4x8 trailer brooder and I can see them growing out of it pretty durn quick.

Yup... VERY nice job!!!!

I'd say your DH is a keeper! Best of luck with your chicks

Featherz, yours is nice too. Looks cozy and the chicks appear to be pleased and busy.

Ahhhhh.... the babyhood phase, they grow up so fast!
