Why You’ll Love It! Durable, hygienic, non-absorbent plastic wipes clean in seconds. Fold flat for compact storage in tight spaces. Multi-use as a safe transport crate, emergency housing, temporary quarantine space, or broody-hen nursery

Why Chicks Will Love It! Warm, draft-free interior helps chicks feel safe and settle in quickly, while clear-view doors reduce stress and encourage bonding. Customized stage-specific liners support strong footing and comfort as they grow. The gentle LED (with ‘cool’ and ‘warm’ light setting) helps them explore comfortably, and the quiet, protected space keeps them calm and secure.

All-In-One! Everything you need to get started comes in the Big Red Barn Set, including a 12" x 12" heat plate. Safer than a heat lamp, our heating plate uses radiant heat to help chicks naturally regulate their body temperature; and it’s energy-efficient, too

Chick care overview

Brooder temperature: Start at 95°F for the first week, reducing by 5°F each week until fully feathered.

Food & water: Offer chick starter feed and fresh water immediately. Dip each chick's beak gently into the water on arrival to encourage drinking.

Hydration boost: We include hydration supplements in your shipment — add to water for the first 24–48 hours to help chicks recover from transit.

Space: Allow at least 0.5 sq ft per chick in the brooder for the first few weeks.

Watch for: Huddling under the heat source (too cold), panting or moving away from heat (too warm). Active, spread-out chicks are happy chicks.
