GQF box brooders
are designed to eliminate stress in young
birds by providing plenty of heat, fresh
air, light, feed and water space, and
sanitary conditions for a confined area. 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
dominate 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
provides sufficient heat while the vented
plastic side panels keep out drafts. As
chicks are drawn to light rather than heat,
each heater has a socket for a low wattage
attraction light bulb, which helps to hold
the chicks in the heated area. Each brooder
comes with a thermometer and a wafer
thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree.
The floor is a thin wire ½ mesh which will
allow droppings to easily pass through. This
was chosen over thicker wire or wire with
smaller squares, as droppings would quickly
build up and mat the floor. For small chicks
like quail this floor requires that a layer
of No 1628 DACB paper or paper towels be
laid down on the wire for the first 4 to 7
days after which quail may stand on the ½
wire floor. Day old poultry and ducks can be
placed directly on the wire. The well-built
wire floor does not sag under the weight of
many chicks. 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. This box brooder is
universal as each side panel comes with
adjustable gate to regulate openings for
chick type and age to allow them access to
feed and water. Small chicks such as quail
will require the 5003 feeder and the 4458
drinker for the first three weeks. Day old
poultry and ducks can feed directly from the
troughs which are designed so that all the
feed maybe eaten. The brooder has
incorporated in it strong but lightweight
plastic and aluminum parts for low
maintenance and cheaper shipping costs. All
three side panels and back door are easily
removed for cleaning while the brooder is
assembled. The optional brooder base, which
is included with the battery system, is very
sturdy and has quality ball bearing, swivel,
metal castors. This base permits the fully
loaded stack of brooders (which can weigh
over 500 lbs) to be rolled over even
flooring. Up to five brooders maybe stacked
on a base and the top brooder will be fully
accessible to the average person without the
aid of a stepladder.
