GreenBarn Pop-Up Chick Brooder Kits

Brooder Box for Chicks

Provide your baby chicks with a safe, stress-free, and contained environment from day one. Designed to simplify daily brooding management, our Pop-Up Chick Brooder Enclosures combine heavy-duty materials with instant setup and compact storage - giving you a reusable, low-maintenance housing solution for every hatching season.

Why Choose a Pop-Up Brooder?

Cardboard boxes and open bins wear out quickly and are hard to keep clean. Once chicks start hopping and flapping at two to three weeks old, they’re also easy to escape. A fully enclosed pop-up brooder solves those problems. Zippered front and top openings let you reach in for daily care while keeping growing chicks inside. The enclosed design also helps keep curious pets and small hands out.

Built for Everyday Brooding

Each GreenBarn brooder is made from heavy-weight canvas with a mesh front panel. The mesh supports airflow and lets you check on your chicks at a glance without opening the enclosure. Heavy-duty zippers hold up to repeated use, and a side storage pocket keeps small supplies within reach. Integrated carry handles make the empty brooder easy to move into a spare room, garage, or mudroom for the season.

Easy Cleanup and Compact Storage

Raising chicks is messy work. A removable floor panel unzips for easier cleaning, and the canvas portion is machine washable once the floor is out. When your chicks are ready to move to the coop, usually around four to six weeks of age, clean the brooder, let it dry completely, and fold it flat. It stores compactly and is ready again for your next hatch, season after season.

Choose the Right Size and Kit

Choose a size based on how many chicks you plan to raise, and leave room for them to grow. For example, the Large measures 36" W × 24" D × 23" H and is designed for approximately 30–40 baby chicks.

Every size is available in three configurations:

• Complete Kit: The enclosure plus a heating plate, poultry drinker, ground feeder, and poultry light.
• Enclosure Only: The best fit if you already own brooding equipment.
• Brooding Kit Only: The heating and feeding essentials, without the enclosure.

Tips for a Healthy Start

A heating plate lets chicks move under the warmth and back out on their own, and many keepers prefer it to an open heat lamp. Keep the brooder around 95°F in the first week, then lower it by roughly 5°F each week. Let your chicks’ behavior guide you:

• Piling under the heat means they’re cold.
• Crowding the far edges or panting means they’re too warm.
• Chicks spread out, eating, and exploring are comfortable.

Set the brooder up indoors, away from drafts, fans, and air vents, and keep fresh feed and water available at all times.
