Double-Tuf Beginner Poultry Kit

Everything you need to launch a sane brooder—without three trips to the farm store. The Double-Tuf Beginner Poultry Kit bundles heat, feed, water, and a quick-start guide so your chicks get what they need and you don’t wing it.

What’s Inside (and why it matters)

• 10.5" Brooder Reflector Lamp: Focused warmth where chicks actually are—not the room ceiling.

• 250W Red Heat Lamp Bulb (120V): Gentle red glow = cozy nights, less frenzy.

• 1.5 lb Plastic Chick Feeder: Low-profile, easy-fill, less “expensive confetti.”

• 1.5 qt Plastic Chick Waterer: Gravity-fed, steady sips.

• 8" Plastic Ground Feeder: Extra station = fewer lineups and pushy peeps.

• 12-Page Poultry Guide Booklet: The basics you’ll actually use, day one.

Capacity: Comfortable for 3–12 chicks during their first weeks. (Crowd less, grow better.)

Who It’s For

First-time keepers who want the right gear on day one, seasoned folks setting up a quick auxiliary brooder, and anyone who prefers a checklist that’s already checked.

Why It Works

• Dialed heat + red spectrum: Keeps chicks warm and calm so they eat, drink, and grow.

• Right-size feed & water: Chick-height access to the essentials—no climbing, less mess.

• Reduces chaos: Two feed stations spread the traffic and the drama.

• No guesswork: The booklet tells you what to do and when. You still get to be the hero.

How to Use / What to Expect

1. Set the brooder: Dry bedding, draft-free space, thermometer at chick height.

2. Mount the lamp above one end—secure the clamp and add a backup chain. Create a warm zone and a cooler escape zone.

3. Heat target: ~95°F (35°C) week 1, then lower ~5°F each week. If chicks pile under the lamp: too cool. If they hug the edges: too hot.

4. Feed & water: Fill both feeders and the waterer; place away from the hottest spot to prevent clumping and soggy crumble.

5. Daily checks: Top off feed/water, spot-clean, confirm temps with a thermometer (not vibes).

Safety Notes (Read these—seriously)

• Use the reflector lamp with the included red bulb only as directed. Keep away from flammables; never use damaged cords or sockets.

• Secure the fixture with clamp and chain; do not enclose in bins/barrels—ventilation matters.

• Keep waterers level to avoid leaks; replace cracked plastic—gear isn’t heirloom china.

Shipping & Timing
