Start strong with Pecking Order Brooder Pads for Chicks

Give newborn chicks a comfortable, welcoming start with Pecking Order Brooder Pads. Crafted from sustainable aspen excelsior—the same material favored by hatcheries—these pads create a soft, even surface that supports little feet as they explore their new home.

Designed with hatchery standards in mind, the pads provide a dependable base that stays supportive through busy brooder days. The natural fibers fluff and cushion, offering a breathable, gentle footing for tiny birds as they scratch, peck, and rest.

Low dust comfort matters in a small environment. Compared with pine or cedar shavings, excelsior fibers produce less dust, helping maintain cleaner air and a calmer space for chicks during daily activities.

Key benefits at a glance

  • HATCHERY'S CHOICE: A reliable footing backed by hatchery use, helping give your brooder-raised chicks a steady start.
  • LOW DUST COMFORT: Reduced dust helps keep the brooder air cleaner and gentler on tiny throats and eyes.
  • KEEP FEEDERS & WATERERS CLEAN: A tidy base supports easy access to food and water around the clock.
  • EASY TO KEEP BROODERS CLEAN: Remove and replace soiled pads to simplify maintenance.

Usage and coverage

Each pad measures 12" x 9". Layer as many pads as needed to fill the entire brooder area. The excelsior fibers can be fluffed and expanded to cover corners for complete coverage, leaving no gaps for nestling feet.

What’s included and origin

  • Includes 25 brooder pads made with sustainably sourced aspen excelsior and a kraft paper backing.
  • Made in the USA, reflecting domestic production and responsible sourcing.

Real-world use

In a lively brood space, these pads provide a ready-made, disposable base that helps minimize dust and simplifies daily cleanup. When you need more coverage, simply layer additional pads for a seamless surface that grows with your chicks.

Note: This product is designed to complement chick care routines and does not claim medical outcomes. Results may vary with flock size, brood setup, and environmental conditions.
