How to build an easy chick brooder for when you are ready to move your baby chicks outdoors. This pen also works great as an integration pen to slowly introduce your new chicks to your existing flock. The baby chicks can grow up along side the adult chickens and will have their pecking order established by the time of release. This also functions as a hospital or quarantine pen if any of your chickens get injured or sick. We also use these as broody jail, to break a broody hen. Letting broody chickens raise baby chicks in one of these will also keep her chicks safe from the other chickens or predators. There are so many wonderful uses to having an extra pen and we think every chicken owner needs to have one. #chickens #babychicks #chickencoop

    I'm subbing. I like your energy and just how precise you are. Your camera angles are great also. I know it's a lot of work to set up, shoot then edit a video but you did it top notch..great dance too! I also see you have a great array of videos..You made the build look easy, I have all the tools but last time I built a chicken coop the rodents all came running. Next time I'll put in a hardware cloth floor. Best wishes..
  • Followed your steps and mine came out great! Thanks for listing all the supplies and cut sizes - made it super easy to build. One thing I'll add is that my box tends to go "out of square" with respect to the lid, so I added some 45 degree posts around the upper corners and now it's perfect. Thank you for the video!
  • @ruby7741
    BOOM! My mind is blown. I'd love to build my own and with no one to really help you video gave me MORE THEN HOPE to do it by myself. Thank you so much those clamps are going to come in handy. I wish I knew how to wood work like you but I will will find a way to do it and enjoy the learning process. :) Thank you sooooooo much again and again for making this video. Just like your wife you both have so much to give and we are listening and watching. Blessed day friends! A Michigan Mom
  • @dhud4583
    so glad I watched this today and I learned something new, which is always good. I'm not great with matching up corners on wood, and it has been holding me back from building my own coop. But you just showed me how to solve my problem with those neat lil clamp thingies. Thank you, and of course it is always a pleasure to watch you both!
  • I love this brooder.....nice and simple! You're a great teacher! I have saved this so when I am ready to go I can do this project! Love it!
  • I love your videos! You are a great teacher. It's so helpful that you link the unique tools and info, too. Thank you for taking the time to go the extra mile.
  • I followed your directions precisely and it came out wonderfully. I’ve had Silkie chicks in my garage for weeks and my husband wanted them out. So this is perfect to put in my barn with the older chickens so they can’t get them and cause any injuries. Thank you so much. I live in Florida so I’m not close enough to you to order one of your coops so I’m relying on your videos to Eli me build one myself. Thanks
  • @BettyUltima8
    The lumber this guy uses looks perfect…anyone else struggle to find 2x2s that are not warped, knotted, split, etc.?
  • @FloridaGirl-
    Super nice! 👍 I like how you allowed that extra for the mesh cloth! I have a love hate for it. It’s necessary, YES! But it’s a pain to work with for sure! Good job!
  • @Jimmythepin
    Great video, as usual. Cut my lumber yesterday, and will be building today. A note for others. 2 X 2s can be expensive, if even available. I simply ripped cheap 2 x 4s down to 1.75" and made the math adjustment for that extra 1/2". Box is going to be a little stronger (and a bit heavier) but it will work just fine. Each 8' piece ended up costing $1.64 compared to $3.35 for an actual 2x2. Also, NEVER use pressure treated wood for chickens. Splinters are a problem anyway, but a PT splinter is much worse.
  • This is so awesome. We just got 4 ducklings that we will need to introduce to our existing chicken flock. This will work perfect.
  • This is the best video I've watch. It is so detailed. I wish everybody was this way. It will be better for the ones that have NO IDEA how to build things if they give you all the measurements of what they are building and if we need to go bigger or smaller is on us to figure out the measurements.
  • @rbaker522
    I really like this video, I’ve been wondering what setup to do for my chickens to give them new areas to explore and this is going to be perfect for supervised visits in my area. I only have 4 birds.
  • Fantastic! I think I’m going to give it a try! Super cool easy video! Great explanation! Cute chicks! 😂
  • @badger31738
    This is a great video with the simplest instructions to follow.
  • @MissRenee_X
    What a great video! Ty so much! Do you have a video in detail like this for a chicken coop? Ty so much! I I think I will be able to build this because you gave such a great instructional video. Thank you so very much. Not everyone has a husband to do these builds so thank you!!
  • Ricardo. This is your calling. Regardless of the success of this channel. You have a professional presenter appeal
  • Great project !!! Thank for explaining so thoroughly, it makes me want to built one and I don’t even have chicks anymore😂 Keep up the great content on your chanel 🤗♥️🐥
