This kit is designed to adapt to your chicks’ growth while ensuring their well-being during their early weeks.
What’s Included:
- Interlocking Double-Walled Cardboard Panels: Ten reusable panels (20″ high x 24″ wide) to create a protective “house.”
- Farmight Small Flock Feeder and Waterer: Feeder (1 quart) and waterer (1.5 liter).

Key Features:
Superior Panels Form the “House”
- Tall and Sturdy Design: The interlocking double-walled cardboard panels form a chick “house” that’s 20” high—a full 8” taller than standard starter kits. This extra height protects chicks from drafts and prevents them from jumping out until they’re older.
- Reusable and Durable: The double-walled construction ensures stability and allows for multiple uses, making this a long-lasting solution for your chick-raising needs.
- Expandable Layout:
- Start with 4-6 panels for your smaller chicks.
- Add more panels as they grow, creating up to 22 square feet of space, enough for 11-12 chicks up to five weeks old.
Heat Lamp and Infrared Heat Bulb
- The 250-watt infrared bulb is an economical option to keep chicks warm.
- Safety Note: Infrared bulbs can reach 435°F, posing a potential fire hazard. For a safer heating solution, consider upgrading to a kit that includes a heater plate.
Farmight Feeder and Waterer
- Compact and translucent for easy monitoring of feed and water levels.
- Provides a steady supply of essentials to ensure your chicks stay nourished and hydrated.
My Pet Chicken Handbook
- Expertly written resource with practical tips for raising chicks, covering everything from beginner basics to troubleshooting.
