Where do you keep your brooder?

Mine is in my dining room. Works great and the chicks love it because they get lots of attention. They usually stay indoors for bout 6 weeks.

Nobody ever got sick or died from having the brooder inside the house that I'm aware of.
 
I have two brooders. One of them is kept in the back bathroom, which is something I would suggest as they do put off a lot of feather / fluff dust. Confining them to a smaller place, means less clean up for you.

Once they graduate from the bathroom brooder, them move out to the coop brooder, which is much less messy.

Outside in my chicken shed but my chicks play and not brood so they have a playpen complete with a roost(real tree trunks) from day 1. The walls are removable so as they get a bit older they can have more air circulation..bottom is wire which is covered with bedding,the top is all wire as well as the window in the door.They stay plenty warm and right now during the day need no heat on but at night they have their heat lamps on.
 
Mine are in the dining room. You know, with the rabbits.

But I don't own a dining room table. I treat that room like my utility room and nobody stays in the brooder longer than two weeks.
