Each compartment can hold 48 chicks for up to 4 weeks. After 4 weeks it’s recommended that you only keep 24 chicks per compartment. It is not recommended that you keep chicks younger than 4 weeks in an unheated compartment.

How big is it?

32" Wide x 42" Front to Back x 65” Tall

Does is come assembled?

No. It is far to big and fragile to ship in one piece. but it’s not to hard to put together with just a few tools. instruction below.

Can I attach a water reserve?

Yes. The 0580 Automatic Water Kit can be hooked directly to a hose so you never have to worry about your chicks running out of water. The pitfall of this is that if there is a leak it could be a major issue. Personally, I recommend connecting to a 0580 Auto water kit to a 5-gallon water tank instead. It’s what I personally use on my brooders that way if there is a leak it is at most a 5-gallon leak. This will generally keep your chicks watered for a week.

Where can I get some chicks?

There are a lot of people online that you can buy chicks from if you are looking for a certain breed. You can find the chicks we have available —>here<—
