Show me your indoor brooders!

Mine is similar to PPs. They will be transitioned to a large dog kennel like the one in a previous post when They grow out of it. Its staying in a spare room under a window. I still have to put a roost in and get some bedding. Right now there is some of that nonslip rubber shelf liner covered with some paper towel. im almost ready for 6 pullets and 1 rooster arriving in 2 weeks. Im also setting up my baby monitor so i can watch them at work 😆 this tote is 36 x 17 x 17 . ive kept hens for several years now but i usually bought them at 6-8 weeks and they were already feathered. Id keep them in the dog crate in the coop till they were big enough to fully integrate. The lady id get them from.didnt raise chicks this year so ita my first time with babies!

looks nice and cozy! If you’re still planning on getting ten they’ll probably grow out of it after a week. You might want to look into an upgrade option as well
I am only five chicks getting but saw a person using a old play pen which I think I still have my daughters old one which I will convert into one or a puppy play pen with a cover haven‘t quite decided yet.
 
I'm unable to use my outdoor brooder at the moment due to a heating issue. I will have to brood chicks indoors even though the smell gets to everyone else who I live with. I'm also waiting to hear back from a breeder to see if I'll be able to buy their broody Silkies.

The brooder itself is missing. I have all other supplies.
I'm only getting 10 chicks max for right now.

Show me your indoor brooders! I just want to see photos as replies.

I'm using a pet kennel at the moment. However, they are bigger than I was expecting (3 weeks rather than 2) so I need to move them to something bigger asap. I'm thinking of doing the tent idea in my garage until they no longer need heat.
