  phases of the cycle, the business can suffer a
  massive loss.

  appropriate poultry farm equipment based on the

Chicken Farm Equipment

• Setter
• This is a piece of equipment used to keep the
  temperature around the chicks at a comfortable
  level. For the first 19 days of the cycle, this
  aids in levelling the humidity and turning. This
  aids in providing a comfortable environment for
  the baby birds to settle in. Depending on your
  location and budget, you can buy various types of
  setters on the market.

• Brooder Machine
• Charcoal stove brooder/Kerosene Stove Brooder
  These brooder machines are used where there is no
  electricity and are preferred by people who use
  inexpensive poultry equipment. There is a
  charcoal stove with a lid that provides heat and
  allows chicks to enjoy warmth near the stove.
• Gas Brooder This type of brooder is powered by
  natural gas, methane, or propane. The brooder is
  placed 3-5 feet above the chicks, providing them
  with both warmth and light.
• Infrared Bulbs These are self-reflecting bulbs
  that emit a distinct red light. The birds are
  drawn to this light, and they congregate beneath
  it to enjoy the warmth. One of the differences
  between these bulbs is that they do not have
  reflectors over them.

  layers for egg production. They are used to care

• Waterer
• Maintaining a proper diet with an adequate amount
  of water is critical for the health of any chick.
• Pan and Jar This is the type of waterer in which
  water is stored in the JAR and delivered to the
  chicks by the PAN. This is the most
  cost-effective method of obtaining water.
• Washbasins These come in plastic, wood, or GI
  with a grill. They are large open bowls where
  chicks are served water.
• Manual Drinkers They are used during the first
  week of brooding. Because the water comes out of
  holes in the fountain style, this is also known
  as the fountain drinkers.

  iron, wood, and bamboo.
• Circular Feeders These feeders are circular and
  can hold 5-7 kg of grain at a time. Chicks are
  drawn to the unique pop colours.
