Chick Battery Brooder on rack with casters. This unit will safely brood baby chicks from day old to about three weeks of age. Our unit was converted to accomodate smaller species (- partridge in particular) by removing side feeders and/or waterers so that chicks would not get "lost" away from heat or drown in water troughs. Smaller mesh floor wire may also be removed if brooding larger species like chickens or turkeys. Capacity: Each level will handle about 30 quail or partidges, 25 pheasants, 15 chickens, or 8 turkeys up to about three weeks when the young chicks or poults should be removed to larger brooding quarters on the floor. Sanitation: The value of this unit is that is keeps the small chicks away from their own manure as the manure readily drops thru the mesh wire flooring onto removable metal pans. These should be slid out and cleaned daily. Caretaking: Chicks of the smaller species (quail up thru pheasants) can be fed and watered with small feeders and fount waterers (you provide) inside of the batteries by gently sliding the battery forward on the rack and lifting the roof lid. This allows operator easy access for caretaking, removal of dead birds, etc. Battery brooder should be set up in a draft-free (but well-ventilated) room. i.e. a room with air changeover but minimal to no drafts. For smaller birds, the side meshes may be partially blocked with cardboard, etc to prevent drafting. Ships with removable side feeders and watering troughs. This unit has also been modified from the OEM wiring so that the "attraction light" remains on constantly, and does not shut off when the thermostat shuts the heat off as it did from the manufacturer. This helps prevent the baby chicks from getting lost out away from the heat when the light goes off.
