NEW UNIVERSAL BOX TYPE BROODER
Box brooders are designed to eliminate
stress in young birds by providing plenty of
heat, fresh air, light, feed and water space,
and sanitary conditions for a confined area.
The clear plastic front panel allows full and
easy viewing of the brooder’s interior.
Each brooder comes with three 28.5" troughs which
maybe used for either feed or water. Ample feed
and water space is necessary to allow weaker chicks
access in the presence of more dominate chicks. Any trough
may be equipped with optional automatic watering
to provide the large quantity of water necessary.
Failure to provide proper feed and water space can
result in slower weight gain and perhaps higher chick mortality.
The troughs are mounted on the outside of the brooder so that the
chicks do not squirt droppings into the food or water.
The 250-watt heater provides sufficient heat while the vented plastic side
panels keep out drafts. As chicks are drawn to light rather than heat, each
heater has a socket for a low wattage attraction light bulb,
which helps to hold the chicks in the heated area.
Each brooder comes with a thermometer and a
wafer thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree.
The floor is a thin wire ˝” mesh which will allow droppings to easily
pass through. This was chosen over thicker wire or wire with smaller
squares, as droppings would quickly build up and mat the floor.
For small chicks like quail this floor requires that a layer of
(See Listing or Ask. No 1628 DACB paper) or paper towels be laid
down on the wire for the first 4 to 7 days after which quail
may stand on the ˝” wire floor.
Day old poultry and ducks can be placed directly on the wire.
The well-built wire floor does not sag under the weight of many chicks.
Drop pans are made of lightweight aluminum for long life.
Drop pans can be easily pulled out even when brooders
are stacked and the wire floor is heavy with birds.
This box brooder is universal as each side panel comes with
adjustable gate to regulate openings for chick type and
age to allow them access to feed and water.
Small chicks such as quail will require quail
waterer/drinker for the first three weeks.
Day old poultry and ducks can feed directly from the troughs
which are designed so that all the feed maybe eaten.
The brooder has incorporated in it strong but lightweight plastic and
aluminum parts for low maintenance and cheaper shipping costs.
All three side panels and back door are easily removed for
cleaning while the brooder is assembled.
$55.95 AN optional brooder base, which is included with the battery system
(See Listing or Ask), is very sturdy and has quality ball bearing, swivel, metal
castors. This base permits the fully loaded stack of FIVE brooders
(which can weigh over 500 lbs) to be rolled over even flooring.
Up to five brooders may be stacked on a base and the top brooder
will be fully accessible to the average person without the aid of a stepladder.
