“I have a hen with splayed leg. She cannot survive outside. This has given a good alternative to her to have some quality of life. The best part is the liner. Snap it off and wash! At night she goes to her bed and day time I can put this inside or out. I would recommend for several functions. My Cocoa has some quality of life in this!”
Thank you so much for sharing your story. The Pop Up Brooder is indeed a perfect home for sick chicks, injured birds and other small animals that may need extra care. It is easy to clean and folds flat for storage! We hope Cocoa continues to enjoy her safety and thank you for giving her such wonderful care.
“I haven't had a chance to use the brooder yet, but I'm so happy I got it. I had been considering using an old puppy pen, which would be similar, but the quality of this is leagues above that. The frame feels much studier, despite easily packing down, and the fabric and materials all seem much thicker and of a higher quality. I also received great customer service from the team... the item has been sold out and one of the customer service reps reached out personally as soon as it came back in stock, which was so thoughtful and much appreciated. I can't wait to use it when my chicks to arrive!”
We are so happy you are pleased with the Pop Up Brooder! It makes brooding new chicks and waterfowl so much easier with the ability to house them safely, see them clearly, and clean up fast! We always welcome photos and you can email them to Flockcare@mypetchicken.com!
“I have loved this brooder. It solved so many problems I'd faced before - primarily keeping the bitties contained in a way that maintained air flow but prevented them from flying out or creating insane amounts of dust/fluff as they grew out their feathers. However, I have to say I've run into two issues that I hope can be addressed in future models. First, the floor is difficult to clean fully if stuck on poop or other debris. I have seen models on Amazon that had a removable flooring for cleaning - I wish this model had that option. Second, as we've had to take this brooder out to deep clean with a hose a few times between chick groups, we ran into an issue with mildewing. We live in a high humidity area and our pen seemed dry enough to return inside and set up again, but there must have been remaining moisture or the humidity was just too high because our pen is now mildew stained. We're still using it with no issues to our birds, but it is not as visually appealing anymore. Overall, it's the best brooder we've used on our farm so far, despite these design shortfalls.”
