Hello I am very interested in building a surrogator,  Was hoping someone could provide a set of plans, instructions, bill of materials ???    Anything would be appreciated!          Thanks in advance!

What is a surrogator?

Foz:
Go to the below link.  They sell them and tell you all about it.

Anyway, what it amounts to is just an oversized brooder that is self contained so that it can be placed in the field, rather than the barn.  It's size is based off allowing the birds to reach 5-6 weeks of age and still have ample space inside the brooder.

As far as the heating elements, you could order the guts from a standard LP room brooder unit, or, if you are lucky enough and have electric close enough to where you are placing it (probably not) you could use an electric heat element.

I have a friend getting ready to buy two. I'm going to see if he'll let get parts and design specs. If I get them I'll pass them along.

Did you ever find any information about the Surrogator??? Iam interested in doing the same thing as you.  I just can not afford that type of $$.

Thanks
Theo
