Clay poultry house warmer gives relief to farmers who do not have electricity or who want to cut on costs in raising chicks. The warmer resembling a traditional cooking pot is filled up with lit charcoal pieces to burn and release convectional heat to the surrounding to keep the chicks warm.
Chicks require heat for the first five weeks when feathers are developing. After this period, they can maintain their own body temperature.
With a two-kilo tin full of charcoal, the Economical Brooder pots can run for up to 16 hours serving about 200 chicks of less than three weeks. Clay soil is a non-metal, therefore, a bad conductor of heat. That means the releases of the heat to the brooding house is slow.
The charcoal burns to release convectional heat that to keep the chick’s brooding area warm.
The pot has holes and a lid on top. The holes allow for entry of oxygen into the charcoal chamber to support burning. Because the holes are few and around the neck of the pot, the injury risk to the chicks is low.
The holes at the top of the pot also help in regulating the amount of oxygen entering the charcoal chamber. Low amount of oxygen give prolonged hours of burning.
