Ideal for brooding poultry and game birds

The GQF Model 0534 Universal Box Brooder is designed to eliminate stress in young birds by providing plenty of heat, fresh air and light. Young birds can access their feed and water comfortably and grow up in sanitary conditions. The clear plastic front panel allows full and easy viewing of the brooders 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 dominant 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 is controlled via a thermostat in order to maintain the correct brooding temperature. The vented plastic side panels will keep out drafts in order to prevent chicks from catching a cold. Each GQF Model 0534 Box Brooder comes with a thermometer and a wafer thermostat which is accurate to 1 degree.

The floor of the brooder made of a wire mesh which will allow droppings to easily pass through. For small chicks like quail this floor requires that a layer of DACB paper or paper towels to 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 will not sag under the weight of many chicks. The brooder also includes removable drop pans. 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.
