My Homemade Brooder


Take a peek of my homemade brooder where i used to confine handreared chicks with their feed and water until they are 6 weeks old and ready to go outside. Young chicks which are thrown out by their parents, weaned yet still needing heat to warm themselves are also insulated here. I put feed in one corner and water in the far corner. Early in the brooding process I sometimes use a towel over part of the top to keep more heat in.
