SAVE THOSE CHICKS WITH PROPER BROODING 
Oakes “Gro-Ezy” Electric-,Brooders 
This sturdy product embodies many of the best features to be found in any 
Battery Brooder. It is substantially built. Mounted on casters for portability. 
Each drawer or shelf is a separate independent unit and can be used out¬ 
side the portable rack. 
Each drawer slides out of the frame as a complete unit. The woven wire 
floor of %-inch mesh is finished in bright tin. This floor is not to be com¬ 
pared with the dingy hardware cloth ordinarily used. Droppings cannot catch 
and hold on wire intersections. A deep dropping pan is just underneath the 
floor with iy 2 inches of clearance. Pan is easily removed. 
The chicks eat from open troughs. Every chick has a chance to get its fill. 
A chick will go to an open trough every time in preference to eating or drink¬ 
ing through holes or between wires, or bars. In each “Gro-Ezy” drawer there 
are two 20-inch feed troughs and one 20-inch water trough. These troughs are 
open their entire length. The feed is easily accessible and yet the chicks can¬ 
not get into it or foul it. 
Chicks always see the feed but no feed is wasted. Doors lift up and drop 
into slots in the ends of the trough, providing an adjustment of the feeding 
space from y 2 inch to 1 y 2 inches in width. This is ample room for chicks from a day old to ten weeks old.. 
Each drawer is 35 inches deep, 22^ inches wide, and 9 y 2 inches high. Chicks can be carried to 8 weeks. 
The lid is removable. Canvas curtain is attached to lid and divides the drawer into two parts. Electric 
heating elements and Thermostatic Control are attached to back panel behind the canvas curtain.
