RentACoop Big Red Barn Chick Brooder Set | Durable, Lightweight, easy-clean, multipurpose | With Heating Plate, Feeder, Waterer, Absorbent Hatchling Liners, Jute Liners, LED Light, Security Latch

Went together easy enough. The corrugated plastic was a bit rough and the folds were not all that clean. But roomy for the chicks. Feeders and the waterers are excellent.But why doesn’t the LED light come with any sort of battery. It has to be plugged in with a non usb c cable, uses some older model of usb cable. My coop doesn’t have electric installed. And USB cables are notorious for breaking.It’s kind of pointless.It’s kind of on the expensive side. But it works well enough. 150 would have been value forMoney, but like I said. It does the job.

This brooder is perfect well made easy to clean we start 15 meat birds for their first 4 weeks and had zero issues with this product

I love this! I wished I would have bought this sooner in my chicken journey! I love having it in the common area and socializing the chicks

Perfect brooder kit. It’s so cute! Came with stickers, my daughter loved that for decorating. Sliding doors made for easy access to chicks and water/food. Easy to hang things from (heater, toys, etc). Love that it comes with everything you need to get started.

Im in love! This thing is huge, easy to put together, doesn't smell like strong plastic. Is well packaged, easy to put away, easy to clean... I cannot recommend this enough!!! As a small farm that does alot of 4-h with my kids i would even buy a second!

Love the size, ease of assembly, accessories, and ability to interact with my chicks in this brooder.
Disappointed in the jute liner especially. I switched my chicks to it yesterday and by this morning all their feet and toes were tangles in the fibers. I spent quite a while unwrapping long fibers from their feet.
Also, the adhesive tape holding the sliding clear panel doors lost its adhesive the first day. Having to use plastic clips now.
And lastly, my chicks can not seem to figure out the feeders, and I can’t seem to figure out the wateres ha.

Absolutely love this, It comes with everything you need besides the chicks and the water and feed.

Pros: Size is amazing and held 20 chickens with no problem up until they were 12 weeks old. Easy to clean because it’s corrugated plastic, had plenty of ventilation, and I loved the food and water containers it came with. The Lee pads it came with were nice and easy to change when they were young but soon scratched them up and are too pricey for me to rebuy. I also love that it’s easy to fold up for storage. Loved that it has a light to help see the chicks better.

Cons: The door was always an issue. We went to pine shavings so they’d get in the track at time and made it hard to shirt without cleaning them out. The track is also stuck on with double sided tape which eventually became loose and shaving stuck to it and just made it look kinda dirty. The lid was a little cumbersome to handle at times when cleaning, just had to end up taking it all the way off and some of the Velcro seemed like it was coming off as well.

We recently began incubating chicks from our barnyard chickens. So far, Gus has been prolific and we have been graced with some new chicks and more incubating eggs on the way. So, we decided to get this RentACoop chicken brooder. We got the big kit...
Ok, lets face it, this is a bit expensive. I mean, you could just cut the top off of a cardboard box and voila, you have a chicken housing situation. And, I have done just that many times. But the dust....the dust... I was a bit skeptical about this chicken house, to be honest. Even when I began taking it out of the box, I was wondering what I had gotten myself into.
It is made of that corrugated plastic panel material, which is completely waterproof, unlike a cardboard box. That is a bonus. Then I began taking so much stuff out of the box, I began to wonder if it was much bigger on the inside than on the outside if you know what I mean. I mean, there is a chicken warmer that comes with it's own little red roof to keep the little chicks from jumping on top and pooping all over it. There are 2 waterers with your choice of peck water, or cup water dispenser. There are 2 feeders, not just one. A little chicken swing for them to play on. I think this kit is one of the most complete and functional kits I've seen on the internet. They put a ton of thought in this thing. It is a bit hefty, once assembled, so we put it on a small folding table to get it up to about the right level for us. It is a perfect fit for 12 - 18 chicks, in my opinion. The quality is best in class, and the accessories included are a step above. Nice job. Our new chicks are being spoiled as we speak...

I bought this because I was getting more than 10 chicks. The description says it has a 10+ chick capacity. Yes, it has a disclaimer that chicks vary in size and whatnot, but it still leads one to believe that more than 10 chicks would be fine. When the box was delivered, it says it accommodates up to 10 chicks. To me, this means 10 chicks maximum. I feel this discrepancy between the online listing and the box is misleading.

The media could not be loaded.

Overall I give this four stars simply because it was so easy to set up, everything is so adaptable, and it is large enough that the chickens I have can get to almost young adult size to transition directly outside to the coop.However, the massive amount of venting on the sides make it slightly unstable and not sturdy. So I made a wooden frame to go around it and then it has a wooden top because I also have cats which would cave in the ceiling. I had to add an additional heater because there was a problem, keeping the chicks warm. Even though they’re inside the house and upstairs near vent, the large venting on both sides, proved a problem. Keeping the inside, not at the ideal temperature despite 2 warmers.I do wish this came with a light, because I didn’t realize how dark it was inside. Also, with the collapsible option, it made features come apart with large gaps. See photos.
