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.)

Tips

Excellent shipping time. Will send in a review after Christmas. So far all my orders from Premier 1 have arrived in good condition and are great supplies for my goats.
Rita W from Florida
Love it! It was very easy to assemble and well made.
Gerald R from North Carolina
I got this for chickens. It goes together well. Missing some nuts and bolts but no big deal. Had to bend the back of the pull-out tray to compensate for that gap. It would be 2 times better if it were higher. Length and width are ok, but it’s gotta be higher.

Easy to assemble.

The instructions to put it together aren’t the greatest but with a little common sense its pretty easy. And bang for the buck, I think you would have a hard time beating it. The slide out tray sold me.
