Building your chick brooder doesn’t need to be overwhelming. In this video, we show step-by-step assembly of the Hatching Time 5 Layer Chick Brooder (9.5").
This power-washable, rust-proof stacking brooder is perfect for quail, pheasant, partridge, and other small game birds. For larger poultry such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, or geese, taller 15" models are recommended. Each layer keeps chicks warm with temperature-adjustable 20" space heaters from 32°F to 104°F.
The brooder’s automatic water system delivers clean, algae-free water through spill-proof drinker cups connected to a 5.2-gallon refillable tank. To reduce waste and improve hygiene, it includes deep manure trays, starter feeders and drinkers, and non-slip antibacterial chick mats for the first two weeks to help prevent foot problems.
For convenience and safety, the system includes:
- Smart feeders with red grills that reduce feed loss by up to 30%
- Heating units with protective grates and thermostat controls
- Automatic drinkers with anti-algae silicone hoses
- Lockable wheels for stability and mobility
- Improved door locking system to help prevent escapees
This 5-layer brooder is designed for homesteaders, breeders, hatcheries, laboratories, and hobbyists who want a clean, efficient, and expandable solution. You can add layer extensions anytime to scale your poultry setup.
