Outside brooder?

Thanks Diane, I'll have to take a look at that.

Bee, the only outside building I have is my hubby's shed. And, I can just imagine what he'd say if I put the chicks in there!

Then I'd be tellin' dear hubby to build me something to keep those birds in! Give him an ultimatum...build or they go in your shed...

That's why the nuggets are STILL in the house! I've been wanting to get them outside for a couple of weeks now. They don't really have enough room where they are and are old enough to be outside. But, I still don't have my chicken area set up at the farm. He complains about them being in the house, but there's not a thing I can do until the area is done.

Morel, I like that idea. I'll have to see what I can come up with.

after 3 weeks mine had to leave the bathroom, the dust was killing me.
i built a temp. hen house out of scrap lumber & put it out in the woodshed.
i ran a cord out there so they could have a heatlamp & they were just fine.



good luck

I'm thinking of making something like a dog house w/a lid that's hinged on one side and have it attached to a run. I'll be working on it next Saturday and will hopefully have it done by Tuesday! Other than something for the floor, I think I have enough scraps of wood to make it.
