New Homemade brooders

These are the best brooders I've made so far - made with the help of my grandson, Dillan! 36" x 24", fits a roll of 36" or 24" hardware cloth perfectly.  I just hang a heat lamp above one end and add feed and water and it's ready to go.  I'll add some more photos after the birds go in tonight.

Good news is that this is all made from scrap lumber.  The 1x12 is shelving grade that was discounted.  The legs are made from pallet scraps and the supports for the tray are scrap 2x laying around.
