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.

MYWondering how high to set your heat lamp for a chick brooder?
A thermometer is important for checking temperature, but your chicks' behavior is often the best real-time indicator of whether the heat lamp needs to be raised or lowered.
If the lamp is too low (too hot):
Chicks may avoid the light, spread along the edges of the brooder, or form a ring just outside of the warmest area.
If the lamp is too high (too cold):
Chicks will crowd tightly together under the heat source and may hesitate to move away to eat or drink. Chicks may peep loudly.
If the lamp is just right:
Chicks move freely around the brooder. Some will rest under the warmth, while others explore cooler areas comfortably.
It is important to provide a temperature gradient so chicks can regulate their own comfort.

JE🐣🔥Brooder set up for beginners! 🔥🐣
Setting up a chick brooder doesn’t have to break the bank!
This little setup is made with a Walmart plastic tote, a Sweeter Heater, a piece of scrap wood, plus a simple waterer and feeder and that’s really all your babies need to start off strong.
🐣🏠 A clean tote, pine shavings, safe heat, and fresh water will keep your chicks warm, dry, and thriving. You can always upgrade later, but for those first few weeks, simple is perfect.
🐣🌱 If you’re raising Silkies, Cochins, or any backyard chickens, this type of brooder is budget friendly, beginner friendly, and super easy to clean.
Happy hatching, everyone! 🐣🌱🥚

FLSetting up a chick brooder before bringing home baby chicks
If you’re raising chicks for the first time, your brooder setup matters. In this video I’m using a pop-up puppy play pen, Dominion Hemp bedding, a brooder plate instead of a heat lamp, high-protein chick crumble, and NutriDrench in their water for the first few days.
A safe, clean, low-dust brooder with proper heat, food, and water placement makes a huge difference in chick health and stress levels.
Save this for chick season and follow along for the full 2026 chick series. #ChickBrooderSetup #RaisingBabyChicks #BackyardChickens #BrooderSetup #BabyChicks

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!
