Ideal for keeping young chickens, ducks and other poultry warm until they can generate their own body heat. The warm environment of a brooder can also be used to help sick birds and animals recover from illness or to assist in hand-raising baby birds. Seek expert advice before doing so.

Size Guide:

Medium Kit: 58.2cm L x 39.6cm W x 42.1cm H.  (Suits up to 6 baby chickens)

NOTE: It's suggested to put 4 baby chickens in the small brooder, 6 in the medium and 10 in the large to maintain optimum comfort and conditions for baby chickens for the first 6 weeks after hatching. However, If you put more than the suggested amounts it can become quite crowded as the chickens get older and larger (3 to 6 weeks). When at maximum levels the brooders will need to be cleaned regularly every day since the crowding will lead to lots of messiness.

Each Chicken Brooder Kit Includes:

1 x  White enclosure with clear front and lid.

1 x  Light heat lamp (with dimmer)

1 x  Ceramic heat lamp 50W (not included in the small kit)
