EcoGlow Chick Brooder

Date sort Score sort
I can't recommend the EcoGlow enough. As a first time chicken raiser, it takes a lot of stress off. There is no fumbling with thermometers, lights, worry about fire. Plug and play. The chicks manage their own temperature. Sleep under it if they're cold, outside of it if they're hot.

If you're reading this and on the fence about buying one, get one NOW. I mean NOW. Also, the energy saving will pay for the EcoGlow in no time.

I am so glad I have the ecoglow als. It is a major stress reliever. No burned down coop, no burns from the lamp, no worry about the bulb blowing in the middle of the night, low electric use and the chicks absolutely love it.
 
Glad I found this forum. I just got three chicks that were born some on Dec 27 and 28. How long would the chicks use the EcoGlow Chick Brooder. Just want to make sure I should get one. I do not like leaving the house for long with the lamp being on. Never had chickens before. A friend down our country road hatched these chicks.
 
This sounds great for chicks who brood in the house, but I brood mine in the barn. 26 degree nights happen, will the eco glow brooder keep the chicks warm enough, or do you need to offer a lamp on the cold nights?

They say to not use it as a sole heat source in buildings/rooms under 50 degrees. I have used it as my brooder in the garage, but I would not be using it outside....it was below zero in the garage, not to mention the barn, the last two days.

I don't have a definite answer, I had my chicks indoors and under the Brinsea brooder.

You might have them indoors for a week or 2, then move them to the barn with the brooder? Think about baby chicks and a mother hen - they have the option to get warm, or step out and feel the cool air, then go back in and get warmed up. The Brinsea imitates the mother hen for them to cuddle under.
 
pulled out the instructions and they say:

"Avoid draughts. Room temperature should not drop below 50'F or 10'C at night" so if it's colder than that in the barn or coop something else would probably work better.
