15 Brood Area
Chicks require extra heat during the first few weeks 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.

•
