Hey Everyone,
Here is my latest creation,
I no longer want to brood chicks inside the Garage, I am tired of the dander and the mess associated with it. In order to keep the powers that be pleased, the property a bit more appealing, and the chicks the opportunity to be raised in a more natural environment. I created and built this portable, open floored brooder box.
It's 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet tall. This one is framed with 2x4's as that's what I had available. The roof or lid part is framed 16" on centre and over hangs a few inches on either end, with Suntuff pvc roofing.
Sheathed of 3 walls, working on the 4th, which will have a pop door.
A great way to raise chicks.
I still have a few more things I want to do, like install Support arms to help support the lid, rather than the 2x4 I used to prop it with for the pics, Trim and most likely wheels.
Here are some pics!
