My offerring is a broody boxMy offerring is a broody boxOkay so its just a pallet turned into a box, but it will serve its purpose and it cost nothing but a bit of time.
Note the condition of the boards! The pallets were stripped using a flat pry bar as apposed to a round crow bar Pallets after stripping front and back pannels of brooder End pannels attached Base of box installed and a coat of paint to the inside The lid, the heat lamps will go though the metal section of the lid. Hopefully in a few weeks there will be some cute balls of fluff running round in it [center]Relax, I could have been a twin.[/center]

Ilona Re: My offerring is a broody boxThanks everyone
Hi Orfy, I used one whole pallet and a two boards from onother. They were the pallets that can be picked up from all four sides, they have square chock seperating the top from bottom as opposed to spars running through the width. Also they tend to have more boards the same size. Al [center]Relax, I could have been a twin.[/center]
Re: My offerring is a broody boxImpressive Al. I can't wait til we see pics of little fluffy chicks in there
Re: My offerring is a broody boxThat is soooo clever Al - I could have certainly done with that when I was babysitting the chicks a few weeks ago - so much better than joined up cardboard boxes!
