they were almost big enough to jump out of the cardboard box so we built them a new home. 8 foot long 23 inches deep 23 inches high with a bottom and a mesh top. I also have cat 5 ethernet ran to the wall above this brooder so i will be able to stream live webcam footage of the activities inside for myself and others to watch. ill post it up later and friday after next will move the web cam from brooder to my live hatch of the next batch.


let me know how you like our long box design.

i figure i could raise two batchs of chicks in here if i put a divider.
 
I love the technology integration. I've been thinking of putting a wireless cam inside our coop and adding it to the hose surveillance system. Would be great to see what the chickens get up to while we're away ;)
Your brooder box design looks great - spacious digs for the little guys!!
