STWant the easiest chick brooder setup ever? 👇
Watch me set this up in just 12 seconds and see why it’s so far my favorite hack!🐤
Raising baby chicks doesn’t have to be hard or expensive! 🐣
I've found a brooder setup that I'm very excited to try out and share my experiences with, and it’s so simple, using a puppy play pen from Kmart. I really love Kmart lol.
Here’s why I think it will works so well.
First of all its going to be easy to clean.
The open design makes it super easy to wipe down and change bedding. No more tricky corners or heavy lifting.
It's super light and easy to move around.
Need to move it outside for sunshine or closer to the heat lamp? No problem! This playpen folds up and is super light, so you can carry it and move it anywhere.
The XL size is big enough for plenty of chicks to run, jump, and flap their wings and even do ZOOMIES!! It keeps them happy and healthy as they grow.
The sturdy sides keep your chicks safe and secure while letting air in. You can even watch them play without opening it up.
Its very customisable, you can add everything the babies need! A heat lamp, food and water, and even little perches for them to practice roosting.
Now that I think about it, I'll need to make another trip down to Kmart to have a scout around for some perches!
By putting puppy pee pads down it will not only help to soak up all the mess and make cleanup even faster, it will help give the little babes a non slip surface to help with their footing.
This setup is so easy, and your chicks will love it!
Save this post for your next chick season, or share it with a friend who needs a simple brooder idea.
Have you tried a setup like this before?
Let me know what works best for you! 👇

DIBuilding a chick brooder doesn’t have to be expensive! 🐣💡
I made this DIY brooder using a 27-gallon storage container, hardware cloth, and zip ties—super budget-friendly and easy to put together! It’s a great alternative to store-bought brooders and provides plenty of space for growing chicks.
✅ Why I love this setup:
✔️ Affordable—costs way less than pre-made brooders
✔️ Secure—keeps chicks safe while allowing airflow
✔️ Simple to clean and modify as chicks grow
🐥 How much space do chicks need? (There’s no one right answer here, so let me know how much space you give your chicks!)
➡️ 0-4 weeks: At least ½ sq. ft. per chick
➡️ 4-8 weeks: At least 1 sq. ft. per chick
➡️ 8+ weeks: At least 2-3 sq. ft. per chick before moving to the coop
🐥 Tip: Make sure to cover the top! Chicks start testing their wings sooner than you think.

HI1️⃣The brooder might not always be in use, but there’s no more baby chicks in my house & that’s a huge win😆 I use the @chickcozy_ heater in my brooder, the temp can be regulated much easier than a light bulb.
2️⃣ The poop shelf with @premiumchickensand has been life changing! I have been cleaning it daily instead of the dreadful once a month big clean out in my old coop. It’s so easy to scoop it and chuck it! The sand is essentially dust free & doesn’t hold onto any odor! Chicken poop scoop from @bee.jeweled.coop
3️⃣ An automatic chicken door is a must! I got mine from @chickcozy_ . I have it set Sun up to sun down. It keeps my chickens safe at night from the wildlife & makes my life easier in the morning so I don’t have to let them all out of the coop!

GRBaby Chicks arrived today! Here’s my set up for them. I wanted a brooder box that would store easily. I found the plans for this one @awoodennest I would recommend using smooth plywood though because the outside is a little splintery on this kind.

REDon't sign me up for having baby chicks inside the house 😅
This is the exact setup we have used to raise our chicks from the very first batch we got about 5 years ago, and we are still really happy with it! I love that they start in the chicken tractor from the very beginning! It streamlines the whole process & keeps them out of my house AND keeps them inside a safe enclosure while they're in the brooder tub ✅🐔
Chicks simply need a tub of some sort, food, water, bedding material, heat, and shelter. They're so much easier to set up and care for than you might think! 🐣
** If you're interested in building a movable coop like this for your baby chicks, egg layers, or meat birds, comment CHICKEN TRACTOR, and I'll send you the info for the build plans 😊🐓

SHI didn’t expect them to outgrow their brooder this fast.
They’re still tiny… but somehow already louder, messier, and needing more space than day one.
Real life doesn’t happen in perfect steps.
You can’t plan everything.
Sometimes you just have to jump in and learn as you go.
Also — putting the waterer on a brick was a tip from one of you, and it’s already helping keep things way cleaner. 🤍

BHThis brooder box has changed the chick game for me!
It was big enough for our 17 babies with room to spare, though now we’re down to 10 babies after some already went to their new home!
Since we got our chicks, all of the Brahmas were getting picked on. I’m not sure why it was only them, but I was able to put the divider in, and they’re all healing up! Unfortunately, once the pecking starts and the girls see red, they’ll keep pecking until any wounded spots heal. Honestly, really grateful to my yesterday self for thinking ahead for my today self on the divider 🙌🏼
