Need a bigger brooder, what would work?

I use a chicken A-Frame tractor, Once they are 2 weeks old.. Having a MUCH colder side of the "brooder" while stil having a warm light to warm up under, Causes my chicks to be much healthier then when I keep them inside for 5 weeks.... My last two batches (16, and 17) Were kept outside once they hit 14 days old... and they are MUCH healthier than my other birds.

Nice love the wire dog crates, I would try that but i have very crafty cats that are just waiting for a loop hole, plus i just started fostering two baby kittys from the Humane society and they are useing the crate, one of them managed to squeeze through the lower bottom bars last night so we modified the crack with a piece of twoXfour cats are very resoursful the chicks would stay in but the cats i doubt will stay out!!
