Got this table at garage sale for 5$ took off sides of bottom and enclosed put on door and hasp for lock ( I have a 4 year old, that killed our fish yesterday but pouring the hole jar of fishfood in he is way to excited about the chicks and I fear for their lives if he has access to them. I am going to make shades for the drafts that will go up and down as needed and add cardboard around the bottom for mess anything I have forgotten? it is 18 inches by 4 feet how long do ya'll think I will be able to keep 18 chicks in here?
wow that looks great you should be ok for a couple weeks or so great job though and a even better price!
That should be enough time for hubby and I to get down to my grandmother's place and get her 2 ostrich brooders that I plan on making into 1 large brooder in our storage shed (shhhh!) hubbie does not realize I (well the chicks) have him working for the next two weeks on his days off. Thanks for the input
What a wonderful idea. It still just amazes me that after 8 months of being on this forum, I still find new ideas from others. Talk about recycling. Most impressive. Looks like the chicks will be safe from prying hands with that set up. Best of luck and congratulations!
Looks like a clever solution! No matter what you do, just be prepared for EPIC dust -it will get everywhere! Oh, will the brooder lamp fit in there? If it doesn't you'll need to make a guard for it so your little one doesn't accidentally touch it.
