Very light weight. Hope my dog doesn't jump on it. too expensive for that type of plastic corrugated cardboard. I don't think the chickens will last for 6-8 weeks in there.

Never really used a homemade brooder—a kiddie pool worked for me—I previously lived in AZ so it wasn't too cold. These panels looked interesting and could be reused. 7 panels came with the starter kit and I ordered an extra 7. Very easy to put together and quite well made. I am very happy that I bought them.

The brooder panels were exactly what we needed. I imagined it and they made it and sold it! Couldn't be happier!

Received promptly. Product would be better if taller.

These work great as is. We used them in the sun room, tile flooring, we put them on a tarp and just wrapped up the bedding once we moved the birds out. They worked for the first 2 weeks or so and by then the chicks could jump up and get out. I would love to see these made twice as tall so they could be used longer.
