It's about 5-6 foot long. Will have to measure for sure when I pull it out. It's on a trash pile next to my house (was there when I moved in.) About 1 1/2 -2 foot tall

I've raised hatchling in the house a plastic bin for a week, they move out to the brooder (3x8x2) in the patio, using a MHP. That frame could work ... Will it be on a table or on the ground in a secure enclosure? "Recycling" is smart.

It would be on a concrete floor. (A bottom would be added of course.

It's pretty small...might work for a few chicks for a week or two.

I understand tho....I see 'chicken things' everywhere!

Why not just start out with the kiddie pool....or won't you have it soon enough?

I tried it last time and seemed like it was too big. Had some day old freeze to death on the outer edges away from the heat lamps
