Brooding clay pot, designed for keeping chicks warm, especially in areas without electricity.
Function:
It provides a consistent heat source for young poultry, typically chicks from day one up to four weeks old, by burning charcoal or briquettes inside.
Design:
The pot is crafted from heat-retaining clay and features ventilation holes and raised stumps to ensure optimal airflow and heat retention while allowing excess heat and fumes to escape safely.
Usage:
Lit charcoal pieces are placed inside the pot, and the heat radiates outwards, creating a warm environment for the chicks. It's important to ensure the brooding area is well-ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Capacity:
These brooders are designed to provide heat for extended periods, such as 10-12 hours with 2-3 kgs of charcoal.
