Here is a couple pictures of the brooder I built for small chicks. It's a small 4X6 building with two large doors in the front for easy care of the chicks. A beam down the middle inside is where the lamps hang down and vents in both sides allow air to flow through the building for ventilation. I have it on skids so I can move it about when I want to make a pen in a clean area. Hatch door on back not shown.
I put tin on the roof and painted it blue as well. It works pretty good for smaller amounts of chicks.

I've put as many as 50 chicks but in a few weeks the building was too small and they had to be moved. Later in the summer i gave it to a brooding hen who was taking over my nestbox
