Bird Brooder Kits: Complete kits with feed dish, waterer and much more. Ideal for keeping young chickens, ducks, parrots, quail and other young birds warm until they can generate their own body heat.

OPTIONAL EXTRA ACCESSORIES: Thermostat: A thermostat, such as the Simple Stat by GYPR (sold separately, see below), can be used to automatically maintain a stable temperature inside the brooder. While not essential, it makes it much easier to keep the brooder at a consistent temperature without the need for frequent manual adjustments. Without a thermostat, the brooder's built-in dimmer allows you to manually adjust the heating output as needed. If the brooder is too warm or too cool, simply increase or decrease the dimmer setting until the desired temperature is reached. Frequently Asked Questions: Q.
