the brooder box


































The first 5 weeks of their lives , the chick have to be well cared for and protected against cold and predators. The best way to do this is to raise them in a brooder box inside a garage , warehouse or other protected area. Our chicks have a large brooder box so they can play around.This prevents them from fighting with each other.The brooder box has a red heatlamp to keep the chicks warm, a waterer and a feeder ( they are allowed to eat as much as they want) and some straw on the bottom .
