“This pop up brooder pen, along with the cozy coop heater, are perfect for your day old chicks and keeping them in the pen till they can go outside. I have 16 buff orpingtons split up in 2 of these pens and they are very "roomy" for the birds. You could easily keep 12 of these chicks in the pen. If you want an easy way of keeping your chicks this pen, along with the cozy heater, are perfect. The recommendation on this site is paper towels for the pen but after the last few days I'm switching over to hemp. I've never seen so much poop in my life and bounty just isn't cutting it. Anyways, amazing combo between the pen and heater to raise your chicks to 6 weeks old.”

We appreciate your sharing your experience and hope that My Pet Chicken will be able to help you in the future!
“My husband and I love it. We have it in our living room on a round table which turns 360degees. Thes gals will be our pets. Easy to clean. Light weight. Our previous one was plastic. Heavy. Hard to clean. Plus the chicks were not easily accessible. Our only suggestion to the manufacturer is to make them with a zipper(s) that open either way, clockwise or counter clockwise.”
“My goodness, where has this been my whole life?! I've brooded a lot of chicks, and I've tried a lot of different methods (water troughs, kiddie pools, boxes, dogs crates etc). Since I was unhappy with each one, I finally decided it was best to customize and make my own chick brooders from scratch using cardboard, a dog X-pen and butcher paper. Unfortunately, it was a really time-consuming, messy process and got thrown in the trash when it was time to move the chicks into the coop. But this chick brooder is amazing. It pops up in seconds and is ready to go, cleans like a breeze and folds down for easy storage. Whoever invented this was a genius! I couldn't possibly recommend it enough. Also, if you have kids who like to sit in the brooder with your chicks, this brooder is great because you can zip the opening up, let the kids sit with the chicks, and then just zip it closed when the kiddos are done. Brilliant!”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! All my new kids stay in here until about 7 weeks and then I add them to the outside area, then 2 weeks they get mixed in with the others ! Love this NEED ANOTHER ONE !”
“I absolutely love this pop up brooder! I have a toddler and I was very worried about him being around the chicks we were getting from MPC. Most of the pop up brooders I have seen have been super flimsy looking. This one is built like a tank. I set the brooder up two weeks ahead of time to get my little man use to it. By the time the chicks came he was over the excitement of the big blue “thing” in the dinning room. He didn’t even realize we had chicks for a few days. Once he did the chicks were completely safe. We just made sure to put the little side door against a wall so he couldn't get to it. He has enjoyed watching the chicks through the mesh on the sides and the top. I’ve enjoyed knowing the chicks have been safe from a sweet toddler trying to share his toys and snacks. Thanks MPC!”
We are very pleased that you like our pop-up brooder. We have so many happy customers with this product and want everybody to know how easy it is to use, clean, and store.
