These panels are easy to set up and easy to store. It will work perfect till able to be in a bigger pen.

I was devastated to find 17 (of 40) of my two day old chicks had escaped under the cardboard panels. I found them dead on the henhouse floor — no food, water, or heat plate. It was awful!
I do not recommend these panels! I would not even given them one star but I had to click at least one.

Good choice for an emergency brooder. Chicks would love it.
Courtney M from Wisconsin
The reusable brooder panels were very easy to set up and kept chicks contained by the lights. Has gotten down into the 20°s here and chicks were quite happy. Much better than trying to make a ring out of available stuff and best of all they are washable and reusable.

Easy to set up and take down. Easy to clean. Easy to incorporate with existing brooder.
