Thank you! This is extremely reassuring😊. I guess I was just worried I'd watch them hatch and then move them out to the coop to soon and something would happen to them. I probably should take the advice I've given to friends when allowing broody hens to hatch eggs. Mama always knows best and as...

By outdoors I meant in a secure shed/coop. I've used cardboard to make my coop smaller before when I was brooding a small number of chicks. Yes, I'm still in the planning stage. Though I should be getting my eggs later this week! I'm for sure getting 24 silkie eggs. And I'll be setting 6 to 12...

I've been taught to always plan ahead when possible! This will be my first time brooding bantams. I've waited a very long time for these little ones! I'll be getting 24 silkie hatching eggs from a locale breeder with the possibility of some sizzles (my favorites❤️) and I'll be setting roughly a...

Thank you! I'll definitely look more into this.

Thank you so much for the dimensions and information! I live in a very small house so figuring out this brooder has been a bit difficult. I would love to be able to just brood them outdoors with adequate heat sources. But I don't believe the weather will allow that to happen when I'm planning on...

I thought of this but my Mom immediately shut that idea down😂. I can't really blame her though after my whole ducklings in the house for 4 weeks a few years back when I got them before spring🙈!

Not a bad idea at all! And totally customizable to the space/number of chicks! I'll definitely consider this an option! Thank you😊

That would be a great idea if I had the room for them! I'll definitely keep them in mind for an outdoor brooder setup. I'm not actually sure how many chicks I'll end up with as I haven't even started incubating the eggs yet. I'm just trying to get a brooder idea before they hatch so I'll have...

That's not a bad idea! I've done something similar outdoors. I was also thinking a pack n play might work but I'm unsure on if it would be big enough🤔

Yeah I'll probably end up using a stock tank but wanted to see if there were any other options! The wood box is another great idea! Laminate flooring would definitely make it easy to clean as well. I'll consider that as another option. Thank you😊

I've used a metal stock tank before for my ducklings and it worked well. Maybe I'll end up using one again for these chicks! I just wanted some other ideas and to see what others use! The plastic tote is a great idea for smaller batches I'll definitely keep that mind!😊

Hey everyone! I'm looking for ideas for an easy indoor chick brooder. It's been a few years sense I've done an indoor brood and the last time I did I used a large rabbit cage but it was so messy. I'm looking for ideas that will hold say 20 bantams and 12 large fowl chicks. So roughly 30 to 34...
