“I love how instantly I can pop up a brooder for chicks, an injured chicken or a broody mama. It’s very large so it can accommodate them enough to move around and not be cramped at all. It’s really easy to clean out and storing this collapsible pop up brooder takes up almost no space. It’s not designed to last forever or be used like a chicken factory but it’s perfect for the small scale, occasional use, backyard poultry owner like myself.”

“Love this product! but if they ever wanted to create a new and improved version, I would love to see two side doors instead of just the one. That way you can connect as many as you want to give the chicks more space. Right now with only the one door I can only connect two at a time.”

“This is an awesome brooder. It's sturdy, easy to set up, waterproof bottom and heavy quality mesh. I am amazed at the size of it. It even fits my large heat plate. Plus it folds away flat and can be used for a hen hospital later if needed. My chicks love it too! Highly recommend it.”
“So far this has been a FANTASTIC purchase. We usually start out with a large clear tupperware tote for the first week or so, it's very easy to keep it clean and warm - we cut out the middle of the lid and put hardware cloth over the opening. We'll use that to store all the chick equipment going forward. We had a bit of an issue for the first day transitioning over to the pop-up brooder from the tote, it was so big for them that it kinda freaked them out. But they've adjusted to all that room quite well. We have my plant gro lights up on top to provide the babies with enough bright light to help mimic daylight.”
“Wish the sides were taller and I wish the bottom came out. Very hard to get really clean. My chicks are 4 weeks old now and have been flying out of it since 2 weeks old. Every time I unzip the top they fly out. It is roomy and convenient though.”
