QuikClean™ Chick Brooder

Chicks are cute.

What they produce approximately six minutes after you clean their brooder is considerably less cute.

The QuikClean™ Chick Brooder is built around one very useful idea: let the mess fall through. Its slotted wire floor allows droppings to fall into a removable collection tray underneath, so routine cleanup doesn't require tearing apart the entire chick setup.

Add galvanized metal construction, a hinged lid, plenty of ventilation, and your choice of a heat lamp or heating plate, and you've got a sturdy brooder designed for raising up to 20 chicks through their first 5 to 6 weeks.

Choose Your Heat

Use the included overhead support with a properly secured brooder heat lamp, or place a heating plate up to 12" x 12" inside the brooder.

Whichever heat source you choose, give chicks room to move toward or away from the heat and monitor their behavior and temperature as they grow.

Heat lamp and heating plate are sold separately.

Cleaning the QuikClean™

Pull out the collection tray to remove accumulated droppings without dismantling the brooder. Newspaper or cardboard can be placed in the tray to make cleanup even faster. Premier also suggests an absorbent material such as peat moss in the tray to help manage moisture and odor.

When moving the brooder, lift it from the base rather than the lid or another unsupported area to avoid bending the sheet metal.

Because chicks are going to poop.

A lot.

The least they can do is let gravity help with cleanup.
