Intelligent Brooder Box 10-15 Newborns Chicks Quail Birds Small Animals Manual Incubators Poultry Heater Breeding Box

It is great to get chicks started. First couple weeks. It is really easy to set up and keep the right temp right under the lamp. First 2 weeks are critical for chick survival and this little box helps a lot to keep them warm. This lamp also only eats about 60 watts so it is very efficient and safer to use than the other style heat lamp.It is a very small brooder. It will not fit 10+ chicks. I only had 3 in it and after 2 weeks they needed more space. Itll work, but might cause stress to the chicks. Commercial brooders are a lot worse.I use it to quarantine older chicks if needed.

The media could not be loaded. Easy to put together and even easier to clean!! I may puppy pads down or paper towels then my bedding. I’ve recently switched to hemp bedding. Anyways, it stays warm but can get 2 warm so I leave another thermometer inside to keep a check on it. The clear plexiglass front and lid makes an easy way to keep an eye on the chicks. The lid also makes it easy to clean and get chicks out. It’s very durable. I honestly think the price is great. It comes with 2 bulbs that heat. It is small but Definitely worth the buy! I now use mine to house the smaller chicks or as a temporary box while I clean my large brooder. I will be purchasing another!

This is a nice little brooder! I couldn’t give it five stars though because firstly the instructions to put it together are terrible. Very vague. Second, this thing is not big enough for even 5 chicks to live in until they get feathers. I have three in it and they look huge despite being only 1-2 days old. It will do what I need it to for now but I wish I had ordered the bigger version.

Issues I have-bottom is smooth, requiring you to lay down paper towels or a mat so birds don't injure their legs.Pretty small. It accommodates 5 birds, but it's not a lot of space.Heat lamp too intense for small brood box. When I set it to 95F, it was way too hot and all chickens were panting and lethargic. I have it down to 87F and could probably go lower-chicks are avoiding being directly under the light.Cylindrical feeder opening is too narrow. I had to keep unclogging it so chicks had access to food, but the other feeders provided work fine for food and water. I put marbles on the bottom of the water feeder so it was safe/not too deep for them.No clear method of addressing humidity.Things I like:Although I had to lay down paper towels to make the brood box safe, the smooth surface makes it easier to clean.I love the clear window and being able to watch them easily.Somewhat convenient for a small group of chicks.All told, this unit is less pricey than some units that have all the stuff included. But if I could do it over, I probably would've tried to DIY something or found a better unit even if it cost a little more.

Cheaply made. I received the light and the instructions were very vague and not helpful at all. However, the product itself came incorrectly made in order for the light to be installed per the directions. This was sad because I had to find another solution quickly as I was picking up my chicks within days.

Works great! Easy to put together with the step by step instructions enclosed. I am using it as a just hatched brooder for my flock. Stays warm. The temperature gauge is actually for humidity but not really a problem as I can judge it by the chicks closeness to the bulb. Two bulbs enclosed along with two food dishes and a water container.Easy to clean surface that is very slick so I use a folded hand towel.

This thing is small, really small. We had six eggs set but only three chicks hatch and thankfully just the three, by day 4 I moved them out because there just wasn’t enough room for them. One of them is even a small silkie chick. The temperature regulation has also been a major struggle. The thermometer on the front is hard to read and inaccurate anyway. I used a Govee WiFi thermometer to help but it was still a constant battle of turning the light up and down all day and night. I wanted to just turn the light off and put in a heat plate instead but the box is way too small for even my small heat plate that only four to six chicks fit under comfortably. I got this on sale and I’m glad I did, it wasn’t worth what I paid and I would’ve been even more annoyed if I had paid more for it. It might be useful to use to isolate a single chick or two but it won’t be useful to put more than that for more than a few days.It was easy enough to put together. It’s easy to clean. It does function as far as turning on and off. The little water container is ok and the chicks use it but it’s also too small to use for more than a week or so. The feed bowl works fine but my chicks have preferred to go all the way into it and sometimes sleep in it.

Great engineering on this product..works like a charm..it's designed to hold small newborn babies not 2 week old chicks..well pleased
