Questions From First-Time Buyers

We recommend 25–30 day-old chicks per brooder cage cell, depending on chick size and season. Always ensure proper ventilation, temperature, and space to support healthy chick development.

Chicks typically move to grower cages at 6–8 weeks of age, once they have developed full feathering and can regulate their own body temperature. The exact timing depends on breed, climate, and growth rate.

No special training is required. Our brooder cages come with a printed temperature guide and simple controls. We also provide remote setup assistance via WhatsApp or email. Most farmers are up and running within one day.

We recommend keeping spare nipple drinkers, feed trough connectors, and heating pipe fittings. A standard spare parts kit is available with every cage purchase. All parts are standardized and can be shipped within 3–5 business days.
