Chick brooder cage consists of a cage, a cage body, a feed trough and a manure tray (board). The general cage is 2 meters long, 1.5 meters high, 0.5 meters wide, 30 cm above the ground, and each layer is 40 cm. It is divided into 3 layers, each layer has 4 cages, and each rack has 12 cages. There is a space of 10 cm between the upper and lower cages to put in the manure tray (or manure tray). The manure bearing tray (board) can be fixed, and the manure scraping board can be used to scrape the manure; it can also be movable, and the manure removal hair can be exchanged regularly every day or every other day to make it better to move.
Each chick brooder cage is surrounded by a fence made of iron wire, bamboo or wooden strips. The feed trough and the drinking fountain can be arranged outside the fence, and the chicks will put their heads out to eat and drink through the fence. The bottom of the cage can be made of iron wire with a mesh size of no more than 1.2 cm, so that the chicken manure falls into the manure tray.
