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 :)
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?

Loved this build very simple and to the point. Going to try this out next week!
I just builded one today using same material you suggested. It was easy and cost effective. Thank you so much for sharing.
Built*
Beautiful. Simple ,well you make it look easy ,, I think I hang the light on the board in the middle though ❤
I really love this and I think I could do this by myself. Great video!
Thank you! I am being to learn how to do woodworking. I think that I might be able to do this project myself !

I just made this today and put cardboard in the bottom with pine shavings on top.
That's a flipping sweet design!
Love this idea!! My favorite part was the stapling sound lol so funny
I built this today but I unused 1/4 inch on the bottom was worried about legs going thru that 1/2 inch
Thanks made this and it looks awesome
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?
Thanks Glenn
Nice design, not too expensive.
What size hardware cloth?
Nice gwork
Awesome
Great design and somewhat beginner friendly. The video needs either close up shots or a little more commentary.
What are the dimensions?
It’s in the description
I'm looking to build the kind of brooder that goes outside that you ain't got to worry about your biddies getting rained on
How many 2x2x8 is that in total?
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
Scratch that, it's gonna need 9. I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box!
It took 8 for me but I added roosting bars which made it 9.
Can you give me the measurements for 100 chickens please?
Please reply comments
Why toss out the high nitrogen fertilizer. Don't toss it, age it and use it. At least toss it in a compost pile.
Im planning on putting a shoe storage bin under mine to catch it all for my garden 😮
