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

I opened the box 30 minutes ago. It is completely assembled! It came with minimal instructions, but fits together perfectly, not needing much more than the pictures they sent. There are plenty of screws and I used the pointed screws for the "wooden" box assembly. The bolts (not pointed) I put in all four holes of the hinges with the nuts that match. The shortest four pointed screws I used to mount the light. The light comes with two bulbs. I tested the rheo-stat wafter I put in the bulb and plugged it in and all were in working order. The plastic hinged roof and front wall are not transparent. The front wall plastic also has black and red writing on it and not at all pretty! It comes with a handy thermometer and % humidity. The battery is already in it! The box is not white, but, lavender. I am going to paint the red and black plastic piece and make it adorable using I.O.D. stamps. It will be adorable when I customize it! My first brooder box! My first chicks!

It's tough to adjust the heat. I put a small thermometer directly under the lamp, aside from the included thermometer. The included thermometer was in Fahrenheight not celcius as shown (which I was glad about) It has a hygrometer included in the thermometer but I don't supplement humidity with hatched babies. I use it for a week or so only for newborns to dry out and to have a safe place for them from older birds- and then transfer them to a bigger brooder box with a heating plate. They tend to get over heated easily as evidenced by their panting- even in the shaded areas after 2 days or so- so I prop the door open and cover it with a breathable cloth. I figure it has to be too much CO2 build up, because they are just fine with the door propped open. My Jersey Giants at a week old can fly out of it. Best for smaller birds like orpingtons and banties. I like it as a safe place to hatch out a mostly hatched egg or to place a wet newborn. I can easily see what's going on. I marked the dial with paint when I finally got the setting to where it works to the best heat advantage. What I think is the watering container and feed dishes are a farce. The water container leaks the feed dishes are for caged birds and too tall for baby birds to reach. Unless I have them reversed. No matter nothing is suitable. But the price was good, It was easy to put together. I fixed my own watering and feeding dishes that are appropriate for my babies. I also learned to adjust the heat to what works for newborns. I will be using it again. It's easy to clean and disinfect between batches. I think the seller should keep their dishes and reduce the price. I may buy the bigger version for my big spring hatches. I sell a lot of baby birds in the early spring. I prefer this to just shoving them under a brooder plate where I can't see them. If my babies are having trouble I want to know while it might be something fixable like spraddle leg. I also want to know if they are eating and drinking okay before I sell them. I've got 8, 1- 1.5 week old babies in the smallest brooder box. They will be going into the brooder this weekend. I wouldn't put any more than that into it unless they are very tiny birds.

Very small, I wouldn’t put more than 4 chicks in it. I only kept them in it for a week and half before moving them to a bigger space. It was missing a few screws, so assembly was tricky. Great for a classroom because it keeps little hands out and chicks safely inside. Fairly durable, the clear plastic seems highly breakable. Overall, I think I should have gone with something a bit bigger and sturdier.

Very good for starter !! For a great environment and development

Fairly easy to put together. Esthetically pleasing. BUT small. There’s no way 10-15 chicks would fit in there. I have on quail chick in there and it’s perfect.

This is a very small brooder, so read the dimensions carefully. It is not difficult to assemble, but it's overwhelming because the directions are so vague and there are so many pieces. Once I figured it out (on my own), it was not hard. The instructions said "Call any time for assistance" which was humerous as there was NO number anywhere on the packaging or instruction sheet. And given that the parts had chinese writing on them I would imagine that phone number would be out of the country.

This brooder was super easy to put together. The only irritating part about the whole thing was getting the film off of the glass. They need to put a tab there or something cause that took longer than putting the whole darn thing together. lol but it’s very stable and it has really good lighting. That is adjustable and the temperature knob is super convenient. It is a great purchase for anybody who is a first time or experienced for that matter because it doesn’t look half bad in the living room. One of the food bowls came broken and I’m not exactly sure where they were supposed to go, but they look like they’re supposed to go somewhere but there’s nowhere to attach it…. The water bowl is a very cute design enough to get their beak wet so they can clean their noses. I’m sure I will use this brooder for many things.

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.

Loved everything - packaging, given extra bulb, easy to put together, very fast delivery. The light is tempermental at low temperatures and sometimes goes higher - which really heats up the space, but the product is really really great!!!

A really great little enclosure. Assembly instructions rather vague and misleading but with a little thought were not tequired and whole thing sorted in a short time..

Llego muy bien, antes de lo esperado, protegido y sin ninguna pieza rota.

Muy buen artículo para cuidar a tus aves bbs

The instructions for building this brooder are HORRIBLE! However it’s pretty straight forward to build. I have not used them yet as we are getting baby chicks and turkeys at the end of the month. I will update my review once I’ve used them. These boxes are pretty small and can’t see very many chicks in these past 2 weeks old! Thankfully I ordered two as I read the reviews that said the same thing. Still if you’re looking for easy to build brooder boxes these are definitely the ones to purchase! Thank you so much seller!
