UNIVERSAL BOX TYPE BROODER

GQF box brooders are designed to eliminate stress in young birdsby providing plenty of heat, fresh air, light, feed and water space, andsanitary conditions for a confined area. The clear plastic front panel allowsfull and easy viewing of the brooder’s interior. Each brooder comes withthree 28.5" troughs which may be used for either feed or water. Ample feedand water space is necessary to allow weaker chicks access in the presence of more dominate chicks. Any trough may be equipped with optional automatic watering to provide the large quantity of water necessary. Failure to provide proper feed and water space can result in slower weight gain and perhaps higher chick mortality. The troughs are mounted on the outside of the brooder so that the chicks do not squirt droppings into the food or water.

The 250-watt heater provides sufficient heat while the vented plastic side panels keep out drafts. As chicks are drawn to light rather than heat, each heater has a socket for a low wattage attraction light bulb, which helps to hold the chicks in the heated area. Each brooder comes with a thermometer and a wafer thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree. The floor is a thin wire ½” mesh which will allow droppings to easily pass through. This was chosenover thicker wire or wire with smaller squares, as droppings would quicklybuild up and mat the floor. For small chicks like quail this floor requiresthat a layer of No 1628 DACB paper or paper towels be laid down on the wirefor the first 4 to 7 days after which quail may stand on the ½” wirefloor. Day old poultry and ducks can be placed directly on the wire. Thewell-built wire floor does not sag under the weight of many chicks. Droppans are made of lightweight aluminum for long life. Drop pans can be easilypulled out even when brooders are stacked and the wire floor is heavy withbirds. 

Thisbox brooder is universal as each side panel comes with adjustable gate toregulate openings for chick type and age to allow them access to feed andwater. Small chicks such as quail will require the 5003 feeder and the 4458drinker for the first three weeks. Day old poultry and ducks can feed directly from the troughs which are designed so that all the feed maybe eaten. The brooder has incorporated in it strong but lightweight plastic and aluminum parts for low maintenance and cheaper shipping costs.

All three side panels and back door are easily removed for cleaning while the brooder is assembled. The optional brooder base, which is included with the battery system, is very sturdy and has quality ball bearing, swivel, metal castors. This base permits the fully loaded stack of brooders (which can weigh over 500 lbs) to be rolled over even flooring. Up to five brooders maybe stacked on a base and the top brooder will be fully accessible to the average person without the aid of a stepladder.
