Last night I made our brooder. As you can see, it's simply made from a 32 gallon Rubber Maid storage container, 2x4 piece of wood, heat lamp, and a small strip of rubber type material (used in a silverware draw) for the bottom. I have a small thermometer on the bottom of the brooder to help me find the right height of the heat lamp to keep it at 95 degrees.
I bought a small waterer and feeder at the local Tractor Supply, so I have about $30 into this brooder now. I hope to get the chicks this weekend and of course I will post some updates. Cannot wait!
