Outdoor brooder ideas?

[StepfordCuckoos]

Hi, does anyone have an outdoor brooder? We’ve used an indoor one before, but were thinking about getting an outdoor one if there is a safe option. Has anyone done this? If so, do you have any links to resources that would be helpful for building (or purchasing) one?

All it takes is a source of electricity at the coop and you can raise the chicks in their ultimate home.
How many chicks do you want to brood?
This is when it was 35F outside the building.

I brood in a garden shed. I use a homemade wooden box brooder, or we build one straight on the floor if I'm brooding a bigger batch.

Mine was originally part of my old prefab coop: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/short-on-time-recycle-a-prefab-brooder.73985/
