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
All-in-one QuikClean Chick Brooder Kit arrives with the needed items to simplify your chick rearing. (Learn more below.)

Tips

Add FlockLeader™ ARRIVE™ to the chick's waterer to supplement essential proteins and nutrients and to help control Pasty Butt, Diarrhea, and pathogens like Salmonella and Coccidia.

Great product. You have to assemble it but the pieces went together great. I love that you can pull out the bottom drawer and dump everything out.

Just what I needed.

Love it for starting chicks off. Have had less loss. Much easier to inspect chicks. Easy to clean and less maintenance. Feed and water stays fresher.

I love the ease of putting this together and it works great for keeping debris out of the inside. However I have found where chicks will occasionally get their feet caught in the slats. I’ve since started putting some wood chips in for the 1st week of age for the smaller chicks. I do love the ease of cleaning it! It doesn’t hold a lot of chicks but i highly recommend it for a small incubation production or homestead.

Unfortunately it was missing some hardware that I had to go buy to finish putting it together and then the floor won’t lay flat in it. It bows as if the frame is too small for the flooring. Since it’s all metal, it’s not something I can just shove or try to force. There is no give. I’m going to be using a grinder to narrow it but super disappointed as I couldn’t use it as anticipated for the hatch I had.
