Tetuga Brooder Box Chick Starter Kit with 10x12" Heating Plate — Portable Pop-Up Pen, Feeder & Waterer

The Tetuga Brooder Box for Chick Starter Kit is a complete, portable brooding setup that combines a 10 x 12" adjustable heating plate with a pop-up pen, feeder, waterer, pad and ground stakes so you can safely raise chicks indoors or outdoors.

Whether you’re hatching your first clutch or adding a few new pullets, this all-in-one brooder is built to simplify early care. The kit pairs a low-profile heating plate with a breathable, three-sided mesh pen that converts easily between indoor ventilation and outdoor protection. Everything packs into a storage bag for transport and neat storage.

How does the heating plate keep chicks comfortable?

The included 10 x 12" plate provides a warm, consistent surface that mimics a mother hen’s underside without the risks of an open heat lamp. It has built-in overheat protection that pauses heating at high temperatures and restarts when it cools, helping maintain a stable microclimate for brooding chicks.

• Adjustable heating surface sized for several chicks to gather comfortably
• Automatic overheat cut-off at 75°C (167°F) and restart at 60°C (140°F)
• Low-profile design reduces risk of tipping or direct flame exposure

What features make the pen suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

The pop-up brooder pen uses durable Oxford cloth and three-sided mesh panels that balance airflow and escape prevention. For outdoor use the kit includes warm curtains and ground stakes to secure the unit; indoors you can open panels for extra ventilation while still keeping chicks contained.

• Three-sided mesh provides visibility and airflow while preventing escapes
• Warm curtains offer extra cold protection when used outside
• Ground pegs anchor the brooder on soil or grass; foldable for storage

How easy is cleaning and maintenance?

Maintenance is designed to be simple: the brooder’s Oxford cloth exterior is washable and dries quickly, while the separate floor pad can be removed and rinsed. The compact design lets you fully dry components before storage to prevent odors and prolong fabric life.

• Machine-washable or hand-washable Oxford cloth; quick-dry fabric
• Removable floor pad for fast rinsing and drying
• Includes a storage bag for tidy transport and off-season storage

What accessories are included and how do they help new poultry?

The kit arrives ready to use with a feeder, waterer, heating plate, removable mat, three ground stakes and a storage bag. These components remove the guesswork from initial setup and provide a secure, comfortable environment for chicks, ducklings, goslings and other small poultry.

• Feeder and waterer sized for easy access and minimal spill
• Three stakes to secure the pen on uneven ground
• Storage bag for compact transport and seasonal storage

Who is this for? The Tetuga Brooder Box Kit is ideal for backyard poultry keepers, hobby farmers, smallholders and first-time hatchers who want a safe, portable, and simple-to-manage brooding solution. It’s well suited to anyone raising chicks, ducklings or goslings who needs indoor flexibility, outdoor protection, and a complete starter set without having to source parts separately.
