This is a plan to make a poultry brooder that is light (under 15lbs), sturdy, easy to clean, easy to store, cost effective (materials purchased new equaling approximately $70), and takes less than 2 hours to build. All parts and pieces can be sourced at your local home improvement store. Brooder size 38"x22" (5.8 square feet)
The DIY plan for purchase details the step by step construction of the brooder, the materials needed, and the tools used. Each step has multiple pictures to make construction on the brooder simple and straight forward.
I created this brooder for my partner who recently purchased ducks. After searching for pre-made brooders and plans I found that most were heavy, expensive, or made of wood (ducks are very messy and our brooder needs to be hosed out daily). We decided to make our own brooder that was sturdy, light weight, economical, and cat proof (our cat, Jack, is a curious fellow).
If you have questions after purchasing the plan please feel free to contact me via Etsy.
