Lakexus Brooder Box for Chick Starter Kit, Chick Brooder Pen, Baby Chicken Starter Home Kit for Chicken Coop, Baby Chicken Supplies Brooder Box Brooding Up to 15 Baby Chick, Duck and Quail

A couple times a year we hatch out chicken eggs in an incubator, and our previous brooder setup wasn't all that good. Our Meow Meow likes to be curious and check out any little critters during the 8 or so weeks they're in the house. I ordered this popup brooder in hopes that it would provide a solution to that problem.Aside from being super easy to set up, I like this setup because it has a zippered screen top, so light and air can get in...but no kitties. There is a zippered door on the side as well. The brooder comes with a bottom liner on which to put bedding of some kind--we use pine chips. The liner can be hosed down for cleaning. If you're cleaning it without chicks in it, it wouldn't be difficult. However, if you're trying to clean this without removing the chicks, it could be a little tricky. The brooder seems pretty sturdy due to the six-sided design. There are stakes included to stake the brooder down, and it comes with a storage bag to store it all.

My initial impressions of this pop up brooder tent have been quite positive. Setting it up was a breeze – essentially, you just pull it out of the bag, and you're good to go. The simplicity of the setup process is a big plus, especially for someone like me who appreciates convenience.While I'm yet to have any birds in it, I'm confident that it will serve its purpose well. The material used in the tent seems sturdy and suitable for the task. It gives me the impression that it should be relatively easy to clean and maintain.One thing I've noted is that I might need a second brooder tent when it comes to cleaning time. Swapping the chicks into a temporary space while I clean the main brooder is something I'll need to consider. So, if you plan to use this tent for chicks, it's worth keeping in mind that having a backup or temporary brooder might be a helpful addition to your setup.In summary, this pop-up chicken brooder tent has the advantage of easy setup and a durable material that appears well-suited for its purpose. While I can't yet speak to its ease of cleaning, I'm optimistic about its performance. Just remember that for cleaning purposes, having a backup brooder could come in handy. It's a practical addition to any poultry-keeping setup.

I'll start by saying that this is a very convenient to use brooder for raising chicks. The brooder is very easy to set up and it is quite large. The material that it is made out of feels sturdy and so far it has held up just fine. The one thing I really like about this brooder is how small it stores down to , it really doesn't take up much space. Now with all of that said the one thing that it is missing that I find very important is a way to run a power cord for heat. It should of had a small slot to run a cord through, but other than that I am happy with this brooder, it is easy to set up and it works as it should.

So glad that I ordered this. Planning to buy a couple more. These are an ideal size and shape for starting your chicks indoors (unless you are far enough South to grow out chicks outside year round, then there's a few tent stakes provided to keep the wind from tossing the pen about.) Here in South Dakota, winters are long and cold and spring is a month if we are lucky. To have chicks ready to be outside in the spring, we have to order or hatch them in January or early February. That's also advantageous for my 12 year old daughter, shows her poultry in 4-H, as the birds are more mature going into County and State Fairs. We will be setting this up in our basement this weekend to get ready for when the chicks hatch from the incubator and pairing it up with an adorable little "brooder house" that the chicks sleep in, with the rest of this pen used as an area to feed/water And stretch their legs and wings. I expect this should hold 15 standard chicks, 20 to 25 bantams (depending on breed size), 8-10 ducklings or 4 or so geese or turkeys. Easily 50 to 75 baby quail depending on the species. As your birds grow, you might want another one or two of these pens so you have plenty of room to prevent any aggression amongst the birds. (Quail are the exception, they prefer to be a little crowded and fight if they have too much space.)

This is a really nice option for raising chicks (especially in the cold months when you have to bring them inside). I would say that it would only work for young chicks (not pullets), but that is what it is advertised for. It is easy to set up, use, and clean. Easily will work for a large number of chicks. I would just make sure to use a radiant-style brooder heater rather than a heat lamp for safety with it being a fabric brooder box.
