If he was using one of those, in a fairly small area, it would get very hot. I know when I first brooded chicks years ago, I killed a few chicks due to too much heat.

Yeah, I have a 250 watt white bulb but for my brooders. my husband put a switch on both of them so that I can crank them up or down. 250 would be wayyyy to hot without a switch but I like having them to where I can keep my brooders out on the back porch even during the winter if I want to

 

Yeah, the 250's are great for something like that....or hanging in a good sized coop.  I've used them in the winter to keep a coop from going below freezing when I was raising Dutch bantams.
