Brooders

Poultry Box Brooder
GQF
$235.00
Poultry
Box Brooder
GQF box brooders are designed to reduce 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 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 the
5003 feeder and the 4458 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. The optional brooder base, which is
included with the battery system, is very sturdy and has quality
ball bearing, swivel, metal castors. This base permits the fully
loaded stack of brooders (which can weigh over 500 lbs) to be
rolled over even flooring. Up to five brooders maybe stacked on
a base and the top brooder will be fully accessible to the average
person without the aid of a stepladder.
