I love this and the wheels for your chicken tractor! We built some from hoops and fence rail and conduit also, so much lighter than wood and lasts longer! Couple questions though, just curious why you put the wheels inside? Also what are you using on the edge of the bubble insulation to put your grommets in, is that some kind of heavy duty duct tape? Only other thing I could think of is maybe it's tarp repair tape? Thank you! Would love it if you posted more farm vids, UA-cam needs innovators like you posting noter to inspire us all!
VERY nice. I see that the bubble insulation is attached with zip ties. But, is the flashing attached to the fence rail frame? Pop rivets maybe? Also, how did you attach the hardware cloth to the frame of the chicken door? How often do you have to change the bedding? We made our (much smaller) movable brooder with a 1/2" hardware cloth floor so poop just falls on the ground. Doesn't look as good as yours, though!
Not very efficient. It wouldn't work off the grid. And they don't get much fresh air. Hmm... a solution I found some years ago for mice: when they are ready to journey out, they will be able to jump or climb to an exit. This way you have a way to measure the quality of your chickens much earlier.
We rarely put new layers in with old layers. The one time we did it, we took great care to familiarize them to each other. We built a internal screen wall in the chicken house so they could see and smell each other for a couple of weeks before we let them mix. I wouldn't start to do any of this until the young birds are similar in size to the old birds.
Very nice
this is really good done i think this is one of the best i have ever seen
I loved this
most interesting brooder I've seen so far. I'd be really keen to see a full list of the products you've used and a "how to" if you would be so kind ;)

That is one awesome brooder!!
Very nice workmanship. Looks toasty warm
Now I need that brooder. It can even be a lot smaller
Good idea best broder

This would also work great for raising rabbits in the cold Wis. winters we have..
very nice and simple i like it

V Nice
What kind of sorcery is this
Damn I'm jealous
Where are you shipping those chicks to in that container... to the kitchen oven or to the outdoor BBQ ?
if they grow up that place will be good for them or is t that u will transfer them to big place?
Woah amazing
Thanks, it worked well for our needs.
The walls are metal?
Nice BT how long it will take to stay in such box.
Were you trying to cook them or keep them warm?
im assuming you live in alaska because if you dont that is way overkill. maybe you just have that kind of money just for sport?
How long and wide is your brooder please
Pls I need one can you make for me? And how much will it cost ?
Did you make that
How much price ?

ok man. thanks for answering. i will do the same to familiarise them. apriciate!
NO WAY THEYLL KILL THEN
you should have a temperatur controller or something.
There is a thermostat controlling the heat and a timer controlling the light
Where did you get this thing from?
I made it.
Are there cute
how can i buy one like this?
These guys custom built it.
mantapks
I think that's a bit overboard! My chick brooder setup looks much more DIY unlike yours which looks like a spaceship!
+Julia Moffat Thanks!
this is to much i think !
