Function: TO PROVIDE A HEATED AREA FOR YOUNG CHICKS, AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HEAT OF THE PARENT BIRD. HEAT IS PROVIDED BY A LAMP BULB PROJECTING DOWN FROM THE TOP INTERIOR OF THE HANGING BROODER. CURTAINS ALONG SIDES KEEP HEAT WITHIN 'HOVER' AREA, PERMIT VENTILIATION & ALLOW CHICKS TO MOVE CLOSER OR FARTHER AWAY FROM HEAT. CHAIN ON TOP CAN BE ADJUSTED TO RAISE BROODER AS CHICKS GROW.
Technical: BROODERS MADE IT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO RAISE LARGE NOS. OF CHICKS ANNUALLY THROUGH PROVIDING A MEANS OF ARTIFICIAL BROODING. ELECTRIC BROODERS REQUIRED LESS WORK TO OPERATE & MAINTAIN (NO LAMPS TO FILL OR FIRES TO TEND), WERE SAFE & RELIABLE, & PROVIDED A STEADY TEMPERATURE FOR BROODING POULTRY.
