Grow Out Pen - H:15" Layer Addition

More Natural

Of all the layers this one Feels most natural. It’s very useful for all stages and I might even see if a can get some hens to brood their own chicks in there. I’m using mine for quail.

Excellent Product

After ordering and having a chance to use the brooder pen, I was so pleased that I decided to go ahead and order the grow out pen. I love the convenience of the flexible water nipple height, and the juvenile birds (chickens, ducks, guineas) like being able to see out. Brooding chicks has always been a challenge with keeping babies consistently warm, and the space clean without having to move them to/from another container during the process. These pens are very easy to clean and maintain, plus they look nice and professional. The grow out pen (15") is also large enough to keep an adult bird if they need to be separated - I've got a hen who is way too popular with the boys and needs a break. Very happy with my purchases from Hatching Time!

Using this for Runner Ducks

I have raised many chicks and ducks using the old fashioned “horse trough” and it’s a pain, lots of work! I came across HatchingTime and I’m glad I did! Raising baby chicks and ducks is a lot of work. HatchingTime helps lessen some of the work! So I got both the brooder and grow out pens for my 10 Indian runner ducks they are now 4 weeks old and today I moved them to the grow out pens. I have 10 so in order to give then enough room I separated 5 in each pen. I do move them around to keep them used to one another. So the big thing that has worked out great for ducks is I decided to use the feed trough as a waterer and I had to figure my own thing for a feeder which was simple. Bottom line, this works great for the ducks using the feed trough as a waterer.
