Chick Brooder - H:9.5" Layer Addition

I recently purchased the Chick Brooder with Heater, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This product is incredibly well-designed, making it super easy to assemble, even for someone with minimal experience. The instructions were clear, and everything fit together seamlessly.

One of the standout features is its compatibility with existing cages. I was able to effortlessly attach it to my current setup, creating a cozy and safe environment for my chicks. The added heater works perfectly, providing consistent warmth to keep the chicks comfortable and healthy, especially during colder months.

The build quality is excellent, and it feels sturdy and reliable. Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, which is a huge bonus when managing a brooder. Overall, this product has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a practical, easy-to-use, and efficient chick brooder, this is an excellent choice! Highly recommend!

We previously purchased the 2 layer 15" brooders, and loved them so much, that we purchased a quail brooder for our newly hatched babies. I absolutely love the cage that goes over the feed trays!! They hop in there to eat, and it keeps them from scratching it out and getting it all over the place lol
These brooders have been the best investment yet!!!

I use this for my quail! I actually need more here pretty soon because one is not enough for what I’m hatching, and will 100% be ordering more! Quibodeaux’s Quail Co. loves HT and their products!🥰

I purchased this brooder addition for quail. I am currently starting some bantam chicks in it and so far, I am blown away. The unit is easy to clean, makes feeding/watering a breeze, and really simplifies the process. It was a bit challenging to build, but after building the quail cage, I had a pretty good idea of what needed to go where. My only “complaint” or wish for future designs is some sort of guard to keep the chicks from walking in the feed tray. Mine think that’s a great place to sit and hang out. Otherwise, no complaints!

So far have had the 15 inch tall ones and just got this one 9.5 since starting quail and wanted heater closer the Matt’s are very hard to get in and out to thick and hard got rid of them and used blue paper shop towels instead and had one time quail pushed feed cover up and jumped off and died there should be some kind of lock on the sides of it to hold it down so can’t push it up other than that so far ok water cups ok just they jump in and water over flows at times but that is normal for chicks to do so

This fit perfectly in our 1-layer brooder to add another level just as advertised. If you love the brooder your already have and looking for an addition, these are perfect so you don’t have to buy a complete new set up. I also love the fact I can mix and match every layer to fit my needs.

So I submitted an honest review about this brooder which hatching time has blocked from being posted. They are screening out negative reviews so you make a purchase with out fear which is what I did. I don't normally post reviews on products but am very disappointed with their honesty and integrity. My most recent purchase from hatching time this year was a brooder layer cage for my Coturnix quail that I'm raising. I intionally posted my honest review two weeks ago because they don't provide support for products under warranty. I have had nothing but problems with the most recent purchase. Before I could use it I had to whittle away at the plastic seems of the watering system they provide because it will flood water to the floor. After my first hatch with this new cage I had one of the clear brooder door clips break while trying to remove it for the first time to clean the cage. After my second hatch I found two more issues one was a support clip broke off for the food tray and the second was interior support frame broke. Hatching time will not honer these issues under warranty and wanted me to pay full price for replacements. See pictures attached. Beware! I do have two other layers stacked on top of these that I purchased from Hatching Time where I also had issues with the watering system as the watering nips will stick and flood your trays and the floor. To date I have spent well over $700 with this company while fixing many of their issues and am regretting my purchase because they don't honor defective products covered under warranty. Very disappointing and should have listened to several YouTubers complaining about the support this company provides. I'm sure this review will also get blocked so I will save my message this time because i want to warn those of you that are thinking about ordering from this company.

I've had the brooder up and running for almost two weeks, and the temperature has been very stable. I'll be putting hatchlings in soon!

We decided to try the HT brooder and I am glad we did! The heating unit is a lifesaver. No more worrying about temp fluctuations like in our old setup. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this item watch the video and it's very easy to put together light rubber mallet is suggested and very helpful I also bought the two layer breeder pen with the egg roll out it's also very impressed with it I love them and can't wait to get more deeply involved and buy more

Great for quail chicks. I absolutely love that you can adjust the temperature as they grow. The **** does build up in the corners though and they can escape through the feeder and feed protector

Hello! I got the five tier with chick brooder top. I don’t have problems with the actual cage itself and honestly, it’s a great design. However, the entire caster base was shattered upon arrival, when I received it Jan 4th. I had put rocks where it is supposed to be, as it’s all I had available, thinking that I could have a new one sent out in a few days/weeks. January 5th of 2026 at 8:49 PM, I sent my first email. My second was 6th at 1:30 PM. I then wanted to give it some time, as I assumed they were just busy. After no reply for over 2 weeks, on 1/26 I sent my 3rd email at 10:31AM. then my 4th on 2/11, then my 5th at 3/1, etc. what I am hoping to convey is that it seems as though they do not want long term loyal customers, but rather a quick out the door sale. That safety hazard rock I mentioned is still there, as I have not heard back. So, safe to say, while the cage itself is good, it was delivered damaged, I tried to get help and I have been waiting since. So if you’re okay with that kind of customer service, go ahead. Oh! And the brooder stopped working less than 90 days in. I had used it twice.

This one tier brooder is just right for getting little chicks off to a good start. Try he heat stays steady the floor keeps them clean and dry . It’s simple to set up easy to clean and the chicks settle in right away perfect size for small batches

This is my Second Brooder from you guys, I have been using the Incubator I bought from you HATCH MORE BABIES, so i need more Brooder SPACE. thanks FOR BEING HERE.

It is great for my new hatchlings. Keeps them justvthe right temperature and the food trays and waterers are just the correct size for baby quail

Great product

I like it after putting the 5 layer together these were easy. Just need to run for like a day to get the plastic up to temperature and get rid of the plastic smell.

I have had my brooder up and running with my newly (first time) hatched quail and let me tell you, i should have had this years ago for chickens.... so easy to keep clean with removable mats for those first days... and then the fall through floor there after saves me time and money!! Also love the adjustable temperature to wean them from heat as they age. Also the customer service is TOP NOTCH! Hatching time has it right!!

came On time, I think it is one of the best on the market.

The inlet to the cage is too low so the line is constantly an air bubble, not allowing water to flow gravity fed the way it should, unless one hanger isnt used and waterers are on the floor. when it does flow it constantly runs water into the waste tray making a horrid smelling and difficult to remove water-waste mess in a thin tray.

just got this for the bantams, little escape artists, like that the fender will keep them in
