HUGE Predator-Proof Brooder Holds ALL the Baby Chickens!

This large chick brooder will be the new home for our young birds. It is modular so we can adapt it to fit our needs and it is secure against rats, snakes, raccoons, and any other predator that preys on defenseless baby chickens.

We’ve been raising chickens on our homestead for a few years now and each time we bought or hatched chicks we ran into the same problem: once they get beyond one or two weeks old we have nowhere to put them. We decided the best way to handle this would be to tear down a “temporary” coop we set up a couple of years ago and build a new, ultimate brooder in its place. This area would be large enough to handle chicks from days-old all the way until they are ready to move into their permanent coop. Because of its large size we can also scale it down a little bit or raise multiple types of birds here together. No matter the situation, however our needs evolve over time, or whatever the current situation dictates, we can handle it with this new space.

Of course defense against predators was of paramount importance. Rats, snakes, raccoons, opossums, cats… everything likes to eat baby chickens. This new spaces offers an almost-impenetrable defense for our tiny birds, keeping them safe while they are most vulnerable.
