Good day everyone! Welcome to my blog! I believe we have stories to share in our day-to-day lives and this time it is about our Saturday trying to build a DIY (do-it-yourself) brooder cage. We followed the video in this youtube link.
He wrote these materials in his description:
Parts List:
• 6 each: 60" 2"x2"
• 14 each: 21" 2"x2"
• 24 of 24-inch wide 1/2" hardware cloth
• 2.5" exterior wood screws
• Two small hinges
• One small handle
• Some small chain
• Small furniture wheels/casters
• (heat lamp, waterer, feeder, etc.)
Initially, I did not purchase bamboo cuttings because I thought, coconut lumber was better and we used hardware cloth. While building these my partner mostly do the hard work and I used to drill the areas needed for nailing to make it easier for him. What saddens us is that the coco lumber was not properly cut and has no proper measurements despite telling them I needed 2x2 60". This was the first of the disappointments we had.
My partner 
This is the output we have.
Despite the things we did, it somehow paid off. It wasn't the best output we expected as first time DIY we did but it is good for our chicks. For more DIY projects!
