Below are some recommended products for your first brooder (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases):

Feeder/waterer Combo: https://amzn.to/4jtN4zg
This would be a good starter feeder and waterer. I like that the waterer can be raised because they have a habit of scratching litter into the water as they grow.

Heat Plate: https://amzn.to/3Ww2ida
I am very happy with the RentACoop heat plate I have and would highly recommend it.

Heat Lamp: https://amzn.to/4joiPdf
I like how this one has a switch built in, includes the clamp (just don't rely on it), and is rated for 250 watts.

Heat Lamp Bulb: https://amzn.to/3EmHkXW
It's infrared and 250 Watts. What's not to like?
