Brooding and rearing chicks can be therapeutic, rewarding and fun. So it’s no wonder raising chickens in the backyard is growing in popularity. But how do you get started? Folks new to chickens often ask…
What is a brooder?
It’s a chick’s first home. Ideally, it should be as warm and secure as a mother hen.
Why do I need a brooder?
Newly hatched chicks require safe, nonstop access to warmth, feed and water. A brooder should be a secure structure that is protected from drafts, safe from predators, and in a location where you can frequently check on the young birds.
Brooder Starter Kits take the guess-work out of building a chick brooder so you can focus on giving your birds the care and attention they need.
