Here is my newest brooder. I have it in the bonus room for now. It can be moved to the coop when the weather is better.

Heres ours, my husband put it together for 20 day old chicks we got in November. They are now 8 wks old in in a outside yard.

I have been so impressed by all of the brooders and learned so much that I have been looking around the house for potential victims - the dog kennel that we are still using, the hope chest that holds only boots and shoes - but then finally I found it ....

So this is the desk, (60" X 34") that my husband cannot stand and seems to gather stuff all over it and around it. He keeps threatening to chuck it!

I am going to remove the drawers, close in the back of the desk (screen or solid?)- then the entire front will be screened in where the drawers were, the center section would be the door and add a bottom. The grand plan would be that the brooder will have a tray(s) that I can slide out.

Am I totally nuts? OK so it would be a lot cheaper to buy a Rubbermaid container - but wouldn't this be deluxe?
