Brooder box set-up

The baby chicks will need a new home after they hatch.

When they first hatch they will be wet & sticky.

They will stay in the incubator until they begin to fluff up.

After they fluff up, we will move them to their new home.

The new home is called a brooder box.

It will supply them with heat, food, & water.

Below is a video of how to set-up a brooder box.


  • First- find a box.

  • Next - we chose to cut a window in the front of the box to provide a viewing window.We want to thank Home Depot for supplying the library with a piece of plexiglass & cutting tool to build the brooder box.
  • Third- we put down some bedding for the chicks to make them comfortable. (we used hamster shavings but we will use cut up newspapers in the future)
  • Fourth- we added a water source, a food source, and a heat source.
