Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the tray is straightforward; simply place it on a flat surface within the brooder area. When used as a drinker stand, ensure the floor is level to prevent the waterer from tipping. To maintain the feeder, rinse it with warm, soapy water daily to remove feed dust and debris. Periodically sanitize the plastic with a mild disinfectant solution to ensure a hygienic environment for your flock. Store in a dry, cool place when not in use to extend the lifespan of the material.
