Brooder Kit 50 Chick, 22cm Shade, 150 Watt

This Chick Brooder Kit emits radiant heat only (no light) which is essential for chicks. Element shape may vary between lollipop (most common) or cone shaped, depending on what stock is available.

• Chick Brooding without light is more natural and also means the birds are less prone to feather peck
• Aluminium shade is 22cm in diameter
• Kit comes with socket (non ceramic) and cord ready to assemble, plug in and use.
• Element shape may vary between lollipop (most common) or conical - shape will not affect performance
• These "old" style, commercial type of brooders are sold because their height can be easily adjusted to suit your needs
• This kit comes with a 150w Brooder Element, which is long lasting. Emits radiant heat only, no light source.
• The elements, being ceramic, do not like moisture or being dropped though
• Ensure the Chicks have plenty of space within your brooder pen area to access cooler areas away from the heat, this aids with growth.
• This brooder kit is suitable for up to 50 Chicks.

** Note if using in a cold area (where you cannot guarantee that the temperature in the shed will not go below 15 degrees) and/or your brooder and chicks are in an uninsulated environment, you should consider moving to a higher wattage brooder.
