Wooden Shipping Crate for Brooder

[WildflowerJLH]

Just thought that I would share. I found mine offered on Craigslist, but you could probably ask at your local tile store. A tile store near me posted free wooden shipping crates. 3' X 4' My husband is getting 3 at a time into our small trailer. The man said that he has them all the time, so we could stop by any time for more! Love freebies for my chooks!

I love my shipping crate brooders/coops! I found a company on my way to work last year and picked up 12 free crates. They are great for chickens, storage, brooding, breeding, whatever. Here is what I have thought of so far:

My mosty recent conversion into a brooder. Gonna make 2 of them.

My small coop that I had 4 EE's in. Hope to make a couple more of these as well.

three more that I was given. I can get all I want! Can you say "Jackpot!"?
