Pet Safety & Health Tips

For optimal performance from this energy-efficient unit, it's crucial to acknowledge that its heat output has precise limits. Your considerations should include room temperature, chicks' age and count, and their species.

• Prevent Draughts: Place your brooder on a flat, stable surface in a draught-free zone and ensure the chicks have safe & plenty bedding. Ensure room temperature remains above 10°C at night.
• Adjust Brooder Height: Initially, position the brooder low, allowing chicks to snuggle underneath as they would in a nest.  As the chicks grow always maintain at least a 30mm gap between the brooder and the litter surface.
• Ensure Mobility: Allow ample space around one side of the chick brooder for chicks to move freely. They'll self-regulate their temperature by positioning themselves as needed under or atop the brooder. If the location is cold, shield one or two sides against the brooding box's side.
• Post-Hatching Care: After hatching, let chicks remain in the incubator for at least 24 hours. This rest period lets them recover and dry, without the need for food or water. If a chick seems weak, extend its incubator stay. Especially monitor the chicks in their initial days when they're most susceptible.
• Protection from Predators: Ensure that chicks are safe from potential threats like predators or other pets.
• Regular Cleaning: Maintain cleanliness to prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria and ammonia. Clean up spilled feed and change bedding regularly.
