Brood Area
Chicks require extra heat during the first few weeks (8 – 14 days) of their lives. To reduce
energy costs, Trio enables designating a certain area as a brooding area; that specific area
can be kept extra warm. At a certain point in the chicks’ growth cycle, the brooding area is
expanded to the full house.
The brood area has its own temperature sensor(s) assigned to it. All devices and programs
operate according to the brood area temperature sensors. However, as an option you can
enable non-brood area heaters. In that scenario, those heaters operate according to the
non-brood area temperature sensors and temperature set points.
