Overview

Cackle Hatchery presents the Excelsior Brooder Pads, a practical, low-dust bedding option designed for chick brooders. Each pad measures 12" by 9", and the 25-pack provides flexible coverage for any brooder layout. Built with hatchery know-how, these pads offer a reliable foundation for chicks as they settle into a clean, comfortable space.

Why choose Excelsior for your brooder

  • Hatchery-preferred — Aspen Excelsior is trusted for better footing and a stable first environment for chicks.
  • Low dust content compared with pine or cedar shavings, helping create a gentler, cleaner starting space.
  • Cleaner feeders and waterers — the fibers stay in place, reducing kicked debris around feeding zones.
  • Easy to clean — replace pads individually as they become soiled to simplify maintenance.
  • Versatile coverage — line the entire brooder or target high-traffic areas for quick, tidy setups.

How to set up and use

  • Start by simply fluffing each pad with your fingers to lift the fibers for a soft underfoot feel.
  • Place pads across the bottom of the brooder to fill the space; add more to cover corners as needed.
  • For smaller setups, position pads under feeders and waterers to keep critical zones cleaner longer.
  • Using the tile method, swap out only soiled pads, which helps reduce bedding waste over time.

Product details and practical notes

  • Pad dimensions: 12" x 9" per piece.
  • Pack quantity: 25 pads for flexible coverage.
  • Fiber composition favors a low-dust environment and straightforward replacement.

These Excelsior pads are designed to align with hatchery practices while remaining accessible for home brooders. They offer a simple, effective option to manage debris and maintain a comfortable space for chicks. While not a guaranteed solution for every scenario, they provide a practical, non-intrusive approach to brooder cleanliness and maintenance.
