Thanks for this video it was very helpful. My daughter hatched chickens in her class and got attached so now i will taking the chicks and have no idea where to start 😂.
You're about to go on a journey, lol
@@brittanyherron9034 I think so as well. I got my brooder finished today after several pokes from the chicken wire. now to get the chicks tommorow. 🤣
Thank you I have cats and was trying to find a way to cover the chicks to keep them safe
Be my first year so I'm getting 20 chicks and put little money into making brooder like yours . I live in rural area and building large coop with french for chickens to mill around . I've got a large garage separate from house so I'll put brooder in there once I get them next month warmer temps . My biggest concern is predators like fox, raccoon, and coyotes that frequently on my property adjacent forest behind my house. Thanks for sharing knowledge . Peace and blessings in Jesus name.

That'll work for 37 chicks my last batch was raised off to fully feathered out in one like that....
Very cool
Question - is the red lamp better than the EcoGlo heater?
I'm not sure if it's better because I've never done a fair test but I can tell you why we use the red lamp. 1. It's cheaper and easier for us to get a hold of here. 1. It's more versatile for the life of the chicken, we also use them in the coop when the chicks are full grown if we get really cold nights or we need to separate one for medical care, etc. It's easier for me to manage but any red heat producing lamp/heater will work great
@@brittanyherron9034 Excellent points , thank you. I was told it was a greater chance of fire and the cost to use was considerably higher with the red lamp. Appreciate your feedback.
@@purpleheart1836 def could be true, we are always very careful to use the cages or build cages for the lamps to be safe
How many chicks did you put in that???
What size plastic tub did you use? 60 gal?
What size tote would you recommend for 4-6 chicks?
Do you keep the chicks in that the whole time until they’re ready to go outside? I’m getting a dozen chicks and want to make sure my container is big enough until they’re ready to be outside
Yes, we keep them in there until they are ready to go outside. Just know that their bedding (pine shavings/hay) will need to be changed a few times. **I'm the guy in the video btw**
@@baconmadebod9959 thanks! And lol at the name I’m with ya on that 😂 do y’all literally just lay the heat lamp on the chicken wire? Don’t wanna burn my house down
@@Danny_Ruth Yeah, we lay it right on top of the chicken wire. That's why it has to be the metal wire and not a plastic netting. There's nothing saying you can't hang it a little above, but we just find it easier to set it on the wire.
The day they go outside is my favorite day of the year!
you ended abruptly ?? where is the light setup
