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! 👇

DIHow much does it REALLY cost to set up a chick brooder? 💰🐣
If you’re thinking about getting chicks, here’s a breakdown of what I spent on my budget-friendly brooder setup! Keep in mind, costs can vary based on the supplies you choose and the number of chicks you’re raising. I have six, and this setup worked great for me!
💡 One-time costs:
✅ DIY Brooder (Large storage bin & hardware cloth) – $20
✅ Brooder Heater – $43
✅ Water Dispenser – $15
✅ Feeder – $10
💰 Total: $88
♻️ Recurring costs:
🛏️ Bedding (Hemp, 10 lbs) – $25
🥣 Starter Feed (5 lbs) – $15
🪨 Chick Grit (7 lbs) – $17
💰 Total: $57 (purchase frequency depends on your flock size!)
While there are ways to save money, raising chicks isn’t free, and expenses can add up over time! Always budget for ongoing feed, bedding, and health needs before bringing chicks home.
Comment the word ESSENTIALS and I’ll send you a list of my favorite brooder supplies, including the ones in this video! 🐥

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.

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.

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! 🐣🌱🥚
