Game 5 Brooders & Spares

Gas brooders do vary considerably on their capacities. It is important when choosing gas brooders to allow for shed insulation and possible cold drafts. A larger gas brooder can always be turned down either manually or by a thermostat but the main this is the chicks should not get chilled. With the ever rising prices in gas, it is very important that the brooders perform efficiently and get the heat down at chick level. It is well worth paying extra for a thermostatically controlled gas brooder as this can affect large savings on warmer days.
