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! 👇

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! 🐣🌱🥚

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.

BE🧡🐥 Comment “CHICK CHECKLIST” for everything I use in my brooder!
This is my go-to brooder setup for my chicks. It works great as a chicken hospital for sick chickens too!
I love this cage because you can interact with your chicks from the door on the side. This makes for friendlier interactions with your chicks. Always approach them from the side instead of overhead 🫶🏼
REMEMBER: your baby chicks need heat! I’ve heard too many stories of chicks perishing because people don’t know this. A heat plate is a safer alternative to a heat lamp. Make sure to get your heat plate set up before you bring the chicks home!
🧡🐥 Are you getting chicks this spring?

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

5RThe chicks have all made it to two weeks old which is when I always breathe a sigh of relief! No more worrying about pasty butt or the risk of failure to thrive. But that doesn’t mean the job of tending to your chicks is any less important now than in the first two weeks. Here are my Do’s & Dont’s to keep your chicks thriving!
🐥🐥
DO monitor temperature inside the brooder and be sure to raise the heat source each week. You may need to raise and lower it daily as we get warmer days but still have cool nights.
DO check feed and water multiple times a day to remove any 💩 and bedding the chicks have thrown into it.
DO sprinkle chick grit on top of their feed to prepare them for digesting greens and other treats.
DO offer their starter feed in your hand daily to get them accustomed to you.
DO pick them up by placing your hand below them not by reaching down from above.
DO clean the brooder often and remove any wet bedding promptly.
🐥🐥
DON’T start feeding treats too early. Chick starter has all the nutrition they need.
DON’T forget to keep a screen over the top of the brooder to prevent early high flyers from escaping.
DON’T worry if your chicks are scared of the hand 🖐️ coming into the brooder. With time, and as they realize it’s often holding food and eventually treats, they will get more and more accustomed to you.
DON’T let it get too crowded in the brooder as the chicks grow because that can lead to boredom and negative pecking behaviors. Chicks will be ready for more space / larger accommodations by the time they are a few weeks old.
🐥🐥
My chicks will be moving out of the brooder in about a week when I’ll let them have the secure run that is attached to our coop. I’ll keep two heat lamps on to make sure they have enough warmth as well still be having lows in the 40’s. I’m excited to have them in the bigger space soon because that makes it much easier to bond with them and lap chicken training can commence in earnest!
Do you have any tips to add to my list?
