Step 2: Add the Legs Before adding the top, make the legs and drill some holes for where they will attach to the box. To determine the legnth of the legs, figure out how high you want your brooder to sit so that you can comfortable reach across at least to the middle for cleaning. Attach the legs by screwing them in place with hte wing nuts. Step 3: Add the Top
For the top, Cut out a 4x3' section of plywood. Net cit our a 3' strip across the center. Screw that strip down to your center support, making sure to leave room for the hinges. Finally youll need something to mount the latches on to the lid. Screw in the latch to a strip of 2x3 across the front of each lid and into the side od the brooder. Add a padlock for extra security.
Step 3: Happy Chicks Once you’re done, add a nice layer of bedding along with your feeder and waterer, and of course the chicks!!
