So I just gotta say, Hubs got motivated the other night, for some reason, and built me a "Super Brooder" as I call it
Why? Well, its 2.5x2.5x8
It fits our 31 chicks nicely, and they seem to really enjoy the larger space!!! Took him bout an hour, and all I did was staple the green netting on for em!
The problem? It will only fit through our front door
and its HEAVY! Guess thats what we get for buildin it outta 2x4s
Thanks Babe!!!!
edited to add some better pics
Here's a clearer pic of the brooder
Here;s the 2x3's screwed into the top so I can hang feeders and waterers and heat lamps, or use as guides for dividers if necessary
It ended up gettin a wierd style ends, though it comes in handy for the chicks, its got lil cubby holes they can get into and sleep or eat a treat they found, without the others harassing them
As you can see, also, on the side I put the heat lamp on, there's a solid end wall, to help keep some heat in, but the sides are still open to allow some circulation
