that looks like a great box. It looks really fun the way you have it set up I bet they really like it. I will keep the watermelon box in mind next time I go to the store. they can be used for all kinds of things. Set 2 up side by side and put food on one side and they can sleep and play on...
I also use this as a brooder. These do not need the light anymore now they just need to get bigger so I can integrate them with the bigger chickens. I am going to be taking the white EE's and putting them with my bigger EE's tomorrow. Time for them to come out sense they can get on top of the...
what a great use for old windows. I love old windows. I have one here at the farm that someone painted some flowers on it for me. Still trying to figure out where I want to hang it. I am thinking of hanging it in my bathroom I just remodeled
Those are some really great pics. You should put...
here are my babies that have been hatching out they are in the baby brooder as we call it.
this little gray one is my silkie, The lighter one behind it is also a silkie, the big yellow ones are the buffs. the rest are a mix of australorp x with Sumantra or a blue cochin.
I had thought...
awww how cute. It just one to be with you as you do your work around the house. It's amazing how small they are that they can still get on top of a tote. I used to take one of my racks out of my oven and use it for the top of the tote so they can still see us but could not get out. I Usually...
Thanks for the post and the dimensions on your cages i will show this to poor dear hubby and get him to help me. I will have to try and remember to take some pictures of my brooder room. I get soo busy and forget to take pics or forget my phone in the house or just plain forget I have it. ha ha...
Yes, I have heard of severl folks using the watermelon boxes as brooders and any of the boxes the fruits come in. I think they put plastic on the bottom to protect the cardboard. I think if I had one and can get me some of those stick on tiles from my free cycle groups I would put them on the...
Really love you set up. We were thinking of doing the same thing in our brooder room in our barn as well. Can you please send more pics of what your set up looks like. Like a shot from the front ? Would like to see a more of a front view of your cages. I know of a guy that comes to our trade...
I have never seen it before. wonder if you could still find one on craigslist or Ebay hmm might have to have a look in my area. Speaking of cornish x my husband informed me last night that we will have 75 delivered to us tomorrow to finish growing out and then to butcher. should be interesting...
what a great find you have. how did you find it if I may ask? I think they should start bringing back some of the older brooders some are a lot better than what is out there now.
is that a table you made to fit the brooder into, or did that come with it as well?
I did not realize it was a kitchen table LOL I was thinking it was more of a coffee table size.
That is great size you have, gives them lots of room to move around as they get bigger. I will have to keep an eye out for something like that just in case I need it.
showed this to hubby after I sent the post. He says if you still had the Glass that went on top of the table.. You could have turned it into a cofee table brooder. I was Like yeah that is great idea. I would soo do that. lol

That was a Genius Idea for a Brooder. That would be good to make to have for an outside brooder for the days its nice enough to have them go outside for a bit when its not to cold or hot.
LOVE IT
Really love your set up. I may have to borrow it when I start to do my set up in my barn. We just moved to some new property and I was blessed with a barn. Has a great shelf in there perfect for my brooder cages.

That is a great idea taking a drying rack to use as a brooder. I may have to show hubby this and see if we can do something like that with all the small pieces of wood we have laying around. Love the tip on the human bed pads will need to look into that myself for my brooders. We just put our...

what did you make your large one out of I really like it. I can see the baby gate on the end but not sure what the rest of the sides are make from. I can actually use that for when i am sitting outside so the babies can play in the grass without going anywhere.
