Using as a brooder box for chicks

The instructions are not very clear. We have three screws and another metal part that I still haven't figured out..... but, the primary function of housing the chicks is perfect. This is lightweight and has a solid tray without wire mesh. It provided adequate protection for my baby chicks. In my experience, even outdoor pre-fab chicken house structures use similar materials, so this is what I expected.
This is a great cafe, but I don't feel it would hold up outside for a long time. Maybe a couple years. We keep this in our garage so it fits our needs perfect! Will be buying another one for our rabbit
Right out of the box I was worried.Material is pretty weak for ¡°outdoor¡± use, I live in Florida and the weather would have destroyed it in under a year.I used this hutch as a nesting box for my hens and fixed it right to the wall inside my shed. I was afraid my chickens might break it (because they like to pile up in the nests together and most of them are HEFTY girls). This hutch isn¡¯t made of sturdy stuff. The floor and walls is made of really thin sheets of wood you can cut with a razor knife. I was half expecting the first big hen that jumped inside was going to crack it.But so far so good. It¡¯s roomy for my hens and easy to retrieve eggs and clean it out.With it being sheltered from the elements, I think it¡¯ll last quite a while.
I bought this for a brooder box to keep in my garage. It functions perfectly for this purpose. Overall, it's pretty light weight and I do not believe it would hold up well outside in the elements. I'm am pleased with it considering the price and the purpose for which I am using it.
