A brooder guard is a low wall placed in a circle around the heater in the first days of brooding. This plastic board model keeps day-old chicks close to heat, feed and water, stops them wandering into cold corners, and blocks floor drafts. Ventilation holes let fresh air in. The plastic is light, easy to wash and disinfect, and quick to set up and remove, so you can use it batch after batch.
