I have an eco glow 20. I have had 24 under it for two weeks. The premier 50 is bigger so My guess is that 46 would work with it for the entire brooding time. Mine do not even use the heat after 4 weeks but they are in the house.

It will be perfect for you. I keep chicks in the house and then move them into the Garage and have been using the brinse eco glow 20. The chicks were under it for 5 weeks and are completely heat free now. The house goes down to 60 at night too.

Yes and it is more true than the basic numbers with utilities that charge with a tiered usage model. Here with Pacific Gas and Electric, going up in usage can increase the cost a lot.

The chicks should be fine if they are fully feathered. With 25 of them, they will huddle if they get too cold. If worried, run an extension and the heater plate out there for a week. What Breed or breeds are you getting?

They do not need heat at 6 weeks old and fully feathered. They will fit under it. The Premier is bigger so 50 will fit under it longer. With contact heaters, you would need to use an extra heat source if the room they are in goes below 40 degrees but only for the first couple of weeks. I...

according to what I have read, pushing up against the heat plate will help fix let problems and develop their leg muscles. Why are you so against them? Do you have experience to share that might be helpful?

Thanks for posting! The Brinsea works similarly--The chicks push up into it to get warm and then move away from the heater plate. This is good for their leg development.

There is a substantial cost savings due to the lower energy use. Brinseas will pay for themselves in several months over a light heat source. They are also more natural and the chicks really do grow better under the contact heaters.

My ecoglow did not stay warm with the battery connection. You would have to use an inverter--the premier uses the same wattage so it would work just as well with a battery and an inverter.

Thank you for the update!
