Chicken Brooder Kits: Complete kits include a feed dish, waterer, and more.

Ideal for keeping young chickens, ducks and other poultry warm until they can generate their 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:

Small Kit: 48cm L x 30cm W x 32.5cm H. (Suits up to 4 baby chickens ideally, but can fit up to 8 with caveats. See below)

Medium Kit: 58.2cm L x 39.6cm W x 42.1cm H. (Suits up to 6 baby chickens. Ideally, but can fit up to 12 with caveats. See below)

Large Kit: 78.2cm L x 39.5cm W x 42cm H. (Suits up to 10 baby chickens. Ideally, but can fit up to 20 with caveats, see below)

NOTE: It's suggested to place four baby chickens in the small brooder, six in the medium, and ten in the large to maintain optimum comfort and conditions for baby chickens during the first six 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, as crowding will lead to considerable messiness.
