Silkie Creek Handcrafted Brooder

brooder.jpg

I simply love this brooder. It is very well thought out and made with quality materials. It is lightweight so I can move it independently if I need to. I love the built-in riser for a warming lamp and the pull-out tray with easy-to-clean 4M Corrugated Poly on the bottom.  This brooder comes in a few different styles and sizes. I just can't say enough good about them and Highly Recommend. His phone number is on the front of the brooder in picture and a link to his Facebook Marketplace Ad is to the right! The base model starts at $140.00 which is well worth the investment!!
