QuikClean Chick Brooder
Brood chicks up to 5–6 weeks of age. Chicks have freedom of movement within the secure brooder to move closer (or away from) their heat source, which can be either a heat lamp or heating plate. Slotted, wire floor allows feces to fall through to a removable collection tray.
- Hinged lid opens for easy access
- Quick, simple clean-up using the catch-all tray
- Keep your chicks warm using a heat lamp or a heating plate (up to 12" x 12")
- Keep chicks contained and protected from predators, even during their “flappy” stage
- Included heat lamp support provides 31-1/2" of clearance and can swivel when opening lid
New! All-in-one QuikClean Chick Brooder Kit arrives with the needed items to simplify your chick rearing. (Learn more below.)

I like the brooder. It works as advertised. Set up was easy and it seems to be good quality. Time will tell. Four stars only for two reasons:
- The sliding tray does not meet the rear wall, leaving a small gap for droppings.
- IF it was my design, I would add a wire cage/panel (maybe similar to the floor) just under the top. Then when you open the top there would be no worry of the chicks jumping out. I placed a piece of chicken wire in this location and closed the lid over it. However, a secondary lid, under the main one…where you can access only a portion of the interior for food/water…that would be ideal.

Beware! Some of my chicks legs fall through the wire bottom of this brooder leaving them dangling and stressed. These are standard sized chicks so I imagine bantams would be even worse.
For now I am covering the bottom with paper towels, but that negates the benefits of the removable catch tray. Otherwise, the brooders quality is nice. It arrived very well packed and was not damaged at all in shipping. It was easy to put together and is easy to clean.

Overall I really like this brooder, but there are a few changes that it needs to make it better. The wire flooring needs to have smaller openings for tiny baby chicks, their little feet fall through and they get stuck. The pull out tray is very easy to clean but there’s a huge gap in the back where baby chicks can fall out onto the floor even when they are a few weeks old. The heat lamp pole needs to be able to be attached to the back because it does get in the way when opening and closing the lid. Would I purchase a second one? Yes. I really hope Premier will consider making these few changes.

Honestly for how much it costs, the quality was poor. Dents almost everywhere. I bought it because I thought it would be easier then a stock tank, but now I wish I would have just bought another stock tank instead of this.

The brooder was easy to put together. It works perfect. The drawer is easy to keep clean. The chicks stay clean and dry. The heat lamp is awesome, well made and heavy duty. The feeder and water holder are the right size for baby chicks.
