Raising chicks

Does anyone have a used raised coop for chicks until they are big enough to go in with the layers and not need a lamp? We would buy it or borrow it.

    I have put 'older' chicks in the coop with a warming light and lots of bedding so they have the ability to stay under the warmth or move away.

    I made this one and I think it cost me about ten bucks!

      Thanks!  we have a similar set up, but what about when they are in that in between stage.  Getting too big for the container but not fully feathered and ready to take on the big coop at night?
