Well thank you! It is made entirely of recycled materials except maybe the screws but they were left over from building our fence.

Even better! I really like the roosts, and the dual, top-and-side openings. What a great feature. I can see using your version as a start, and making it larger if required. And on wheels to boot; that's great!

Yes I am already looking at building a bigger version!!! I am toying with making a portable brooder that I can stick on the ground in the coop that is for when they get a bit bigger but still need a little warmth.

Finally put them outside the other day. They are in one of the big coop but I have them locked inside with a heat lamp still. They were getting too big for the brooder and trampling my little Wheaten guy who sadly passed away yesterday. He was the one that I really wanted to make it. Well I wanted them all to make it but I was really rooting for this little guy. On a funnier note my DD(6) wanted to see him so I obliged as I had just put him in a little box until I had time to deal with him. She gently stroked him and talked to him and then proceeded to start bawling like a baby!!!!! I felt so bad but it was kinda comical because she does this with any animal!!! She loves any animal!!!! She loves to watch AirBud movies and everytime something bad happens to AirBud she gets sad and starts crying even though she has watched it a hundred times and knows he is ok!!!! Gotta love kids!!

Sorry you lost your wheaten. That is a nice brooder. Cute babies.
