Failure to provide proper feed and water space can result in slower weight gain and perhaps higher chick mortality. Any trough may be equipped with optional automatic watering to provide the large quantity of water necessary. Ample feed and water space is necessary to allow weaker chicks access in the presence of more dominant chicks. Each brooder comes with three 28.5' troughs which maybe used for either feed or water.

Three clear plastic panels allow full and easy viewing of the brooder’s interior. GQF Box Brooders are designed to eliminate stress in young birds by providing plenty of heat, fresh air, light, feed and water space, and sanitary conditions for a confined area.
(Needs #5001 Feeder & Waterer for game) See Short Description Poultry Chick capacity - 100 chicks through 2 weeks. capacity to 4th week - 100 quail - 50 Chukar or Pheasants. This box brooder is universal as each side panel comes with an adjustable gate to regulate openings for chick size. Drop pans can be easily pulled out even when brooders are stacked and the wire floor is heavy with birds.
Drop pans are made of lightweight aluminum for long life. Day old poultry and ducks can be placed directly on the wire. For small chicks like quail this floor requires that a layer of No 1628 DACB paper or paper towels be laid down on the wire for the first 4 to 7 days after which quail may stand on the ½” wire floor. The floor is a thin wire ½” mesh which will allow droppings to easily pass through. Each brooder comes with a thermometer and a wafer thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree. As chicks are drawn to light rather than heat, each heater has a socket for a low wattage attraction light bulb (2 bulbs included), which helps to hold the chicks in the heated area. The 300-watt heater provides sufficient heat while the vented plastic side panels keep out drafts. The troughs are mounted on the outside of the brooder so that the chicks do not mix droppings into the food or water.
