    This is literally the only brooder box DIY video that was actually beginner friendly. There's no way I'd be able to do good angled cuts, so I'm grateful for plans that don't require this. Thank you!

    Very slick. Effective, lightweight, Mobil. What’s not to like. I like the wheels for mobility, dragging, pushing or pulling with resistance can certainly challenge a lighter weight structure. Nice job

    Hey, man, thanks for the idea. This was a quick, easy, relatively inexpensive build - and a great one if you plan to keep your chicks in a garage or shed (which I do). I build 2 of them. Took the better part of a day.

    Made this model today. Thank you for the plans. It took me about 5 hours but will be well worth it. I did add a couple roosting bars in mine. One right in the middle another that required additional side supports to mount to. I appreciate the speedy video that was concise in time but extensive in content.

    Love this thanks for sharing! One question - What do you put on the bottom hardware cloth? I imagine a lot of wood chips would fall through, so do you use something else? Putting something like cardboard would defeat the purpose of the garbage bag beneath.
    Maybe this is only a concern for the first week or so while they are tiny but I envision many trapped feet :)

      I just made this today and put cardboard in the bottom with pine shavings on top.

    I built this today but I unused 1/4 inch on the bottom was worried about legs going thru that 1/2 inch

    How many chicks can you keep in this space

    Hello, I am not sure if you will see this, as this is a pretty old video. Do you put anything besides the bedding on the hardware cloth? Also, how many chicks will fit comfortably in there?

    Great design and somewhat beginner friendly. The video needs either close up shots or a little more commentary.

      @zdoggrs 11 місяців тому +1

      I am building one today and if I did my math right, it should be 7 total. We'll find out in a few hours! Haha

    • @zdoggrs
      @zdoggrs 11 місяців тому +1

      Scratch that, it's gonna need 9. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box!

    • @spencero6774
      @spencero6774 8 місяців тому

      It took 8 for me but I added roosting bars which made it 9.

    Why toss out the high nitrogen fertilizer. Don't toss it, age it and use it. At least toss it in a compost pile.
