RentACoop Little Red Barn Chick Brooder

So easy to set up and clean. Worth is and i just sit and stare at them through the clear door. Love it.

I’ve had many setups for my day old chicks that came in the mail. I wished I would’ve bought this set up first! I had a brooder heat plate and a stand up chicken coop heater and got the heat up to 95-97 like you need for newborn chicks. As they got older I took one of the heaters out. I have 3 chicks at now 6 weeks. I’m gonna transition them with other chickens in a quarantined area so they can get use to each other. I will continue using the red barn for this. I’ve almost burnt my house down and killed one of my previous chicks because I couldn’t stabilize the heat and those awful heat light bulbs. DONT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE!! Buy this first. Very Happy.

We purchased 2 of these for local teachers to use in their classroom. The clear sliding doors are perfect to let kids look inside. It comes collapsible for easy storage and have lots of options for attaching feeders/waterers and heat plants. We have 7 chicks in 1 and they have plenty of room. We have 6 ducklings in the other and they fit ok for about 2.5 weeks.

I was under the assumption you get what this pictures shows of “what’s in the box” but in fact you only get the box itself and a jute pad. That being said- I think this product is excellent though not necessary. I have a cat and this helps immensely and it works great with all of the “extras” you have to add on. I would not have originally purchased this at this price if I knew it were the barn only but now I kind of got stuck with it in a sense because I had just gotten babies and was counting on having it. Amazon was no help and neither was the company itself honoring what is advertised in the pics- it’s misleading and it’s still up there. Again though I do love the products- I’ve had a larger waterer for a few years now and it’s great and was why I looked up stuff for babies. I ended up purchasing the heat plate and it’s great for peace of mind and the chickens seem to enjoy it. Much better for a good even heat.

I absolutely love this Little Red Barn. I have 4 new chicks and this is PERFECT! It is super simple to put together and even with the heat plate, waterer and feeder, there is plenty of room. I ordered this before the Big Red Barn came out, bummer, but I love this one and so do my chicks. Highly recommend all Rent a Coop products.

I got this for my hatchlings so they have a safe place they can stay warm under the heat plate and learn the ropes of eating and drinking. I love how easy it is to set up and clean up. I like that there is a top on it in case I need to use it for sick birds that might try to jump out. I want by another one I am so happy with it.

It took less than a minute to unfold the Little Red Barn and assemble. There are only 3 pieces. The "Barn", the lid and the insert for the bottom. The top is made to stay on snuggly with 3 velcro areas. There are straps that are made onto the lid and velcro areas
are already attached for you on the "barn," 1 strip in back and 1 on each end. The material is plastic and looks yo be made in cardboard style, except in plastic. Once together it is pretty sturdy. I am housing 4 chicks. The pictured ones are 3 weeks old as of 2/12/24. It is smaller in length than expected but, the description said it would hold 4, and it does. I wouldn't put any more than that. Plus, I also have the warmer, their food and water enclosed with them. If you purchase this absolutely buy the attachments for water and food so that you have more room than I do. I will be getting those in the future as these 4 chicks will be growing much larger. The lid keeps them contained and keeps my nosey cat out!! All in all it is a good investment and when done, it will fold flat again for storage and should clean up very nicely!! Paid $39 it will pay for itself in that it is reusable!

This was the most adorable thing ever. So easy to set up, totally simple to clean. Lightweight yet sturdy. I kept 8 chicks in it for the first two weeks of their lives (they went to family homes after) and it was the perfect home. I added a heat plate with their water and food, filled the coop with pine shavings, and the chicks loved nestling together to sleep. They would happily come to the window when they heard me getting up, and it was so cute to slide open those windows and have them hop out. I decided they were gifted chicks that needed enrichment so I also purchased a bridge to climb, toys, and a roost with mirrors. They loved seeing themselves in the mirrors.

I’m a teacher and I carried this to and from school with me every day and it held up beautifully. Totally recommend!!!

This is such a cool product!!!! I love it and so do my birds…. My only complaint is that the description is a little misleading and when I ordered this I thought it came with all the pieces. This is just the box, it is NOT the kit. I paid significantly more money buying each piece individually but it is worth it. I have 25 chickens that I have raised from chicks and this setup is by far the coolest.

This is a really handy foldable brooder. It is sturdy but collapses down for storage.i only ised it for newly hatched chicks in the first week or two but it is a pretty good size for 14 in their first few weeks. Maybe more 8 chicks once they grow a little

Overall a pretty good product. I only worry about the durability of the folding and unfolding if planning to use for a long time.

I loved using this for my chicks! Plenty of room and they liked peeping out the windows! It was easy to clean also.

Excellent product

This will work however a few issues. The plastic door isn't all that great, have to make sure you are careful opening and close. The plastic bottom, doesnt fit exactly. The swing is definitely only for small chickens but was a pain to put together, the clips were really small. The top doesn't stay down, the velcro isn't tough enough for the weight of the top. Was it worth the money, not really but will it work for my sick chicken, yes. I did expect it to be plastic but it is more like cardboard and some plastic mixed together

This product does not deserve even one star. It’s extremely cheaply made, as if by children. I’m not sure what the material is. I was hoping it was going to be plastic but it’s not. There were no instructions to refer to on the heat lamp. I’m hoping it will last for the chicks I just hatched but am diubtful. Better off to buy a Rubbermaid container and convert to a brooder box I will not buy any products from this manufacturer in The future. What a disappointment!

It’s good for 3 chickens, max 4.
