I got some babies today so figured I'd show my brooder. It's two Rubbermaids, taped together. Pretty fancy, right?😜 It cost exactly $0, though. I've had up to 18 Cornish cross chickies in here before with no issues. Currently holding 3 chickens and 3 rouen ducks. I'm not sure what I'm going through or do with the ducks, whether keep them for meat or eggs, but I've got a few weeks to figure that out. The girls desperately wanted ducks, so we got ducks.
I keep this brooder inside. When the kids aren't petting/talking to/reading the o the chicks, I put an old aluminum window screen under the light, just in case it were to fall, to prevent fire.
