Brooder
a device for the localized warming of young poultry in the first weeks of life. In the USSR electric brooders, in which the temperature can be changed by a regulatory screw and maintained automatically by means of a thermostat, are the most common type. In gas brooders, the air under the hood is heated by the burner flame or a ceramic radiator heated by it; air access to the burner is regulated by a thermostat. One electric or gas brooder will hold 500 chicks. Stoves with horizontal flues and pipes with central water heating, laid along or across the poultry house (covered with awnings), are also used for warming young fowl; in poultry factories battery brooders are used.

No references found | The band's namesake, Chris Daughtry, is the grimacing, chrome-dome crooner with the Wooly Willy-like beard who came to prominence as an "American Idol" Season 5 fourth-place finisher (aka third-place loser), when he sang a revamped version of Johnny Cash's "I Walk the Line" (which he ripped off from another cue-ball brooder, Ed Kowalski of Live). After the babies have hatched, there are three things you should do: feed them, brooder and make sure they don't drown. Because a loose board can admit predators, and a blown light bulb can spell disaster for chicks in a brooder, you will never regret establishing a designated repair kit. |
