I found 2 of these metal chick brooders on the wonderful kijiji and thought that would make good grower pens, as I've been using commercial rabbit cages the past 3-4 years, I've been watching the ad for these since early fall and was able to get them both for fairly cheap.
I removed the heater elements from one unit and replaced the center with 1"x1" wire mesh (where the heater was), now it has about 10-12" of head room verses the 8"+/- before, the other unit is complete I pulled apart 1 heater to see what's inside and can find most of the parts from GQF so I may attempt at rebuilding one element, if it works I'll replace all the heaters.
Today I pulled it all apart and painted it, black frames, red base, I'll post new pictures tomorrow of the completed unit, it has 4 pens on the top and 4 shelves on the bottom

Freakin' eh! nice catch!

I didn't paint the feeders or water troughs but otherwise turned put pretty nice, I have extra 4 feeders, 4 water troughs, wire ends, drop pans, screens if anyone needs any parts.

Nice score!

Looks like you are ready for serious production. :)

Thanks, nothing too intense for now (famous last words ) still looking to build a new coop this year

First batch of chicks of the year 135 chicks, this- if fully operational would think it could hold 600 chicks, enough room to keep them in one side but there's room so why not give extra space

Nice set up!

Very nice!
