If you plan to hatch chicks, you need to save this reel! This brooder box is a game changer!! Not only is it practical, but it’s also a great way to safely introduce young chicks to their future flock. The transition from brooder to coop goes so smoothly because the chickens already know each other. 🐥🐔 The only thing we’d consider doing differently next time is adding a slide-out bottom for easier cleaning — otherwise, we absolutely love our brooder! #ourlittlecoop #farmlife #smallfarm #homest
