In this type of battery the hover is so adjusted 
that the back of each chick touches the flexible cop- 
per wire heat radiator — this medium is permanent, 
will not tear, rot or wear out. It radiates heat ef- 
ficiently just like the MOTHER HEN. Chicks can 
crowd together under the hover. YET each chick 
will breathe fresh, warm air which is continually 
circulating through the POROUS heat radiator. 
Hover V-shaped, roost-proof. Backwarmer heaters 
may be removed and battery used as a growing unit.
