Just bought one for the chickiedees. I got the 50 since 26 will be arriving. I was going to wait till I saw if everyone will still love raising chickens after the first flock, since they are pricey. Well after our local news broadcasted about a fire I got on the net and ordered one. I was not paying much attention until they said "chicken coop" was only thing that survived, so I looked up. Then they said the family was going to raise chickens for eggs and that is how the fire started. It turned out the cat knocked the heat lamp off the brooder and that is how the fire started. Everything was destroyed except for the cat and the coop. After that I there was no way I was going to use a heat lamp. I dont care if I cant eat for a week I would rather invest in the ecoglow than lose my house. Kinda of strange that story came on. I think it was a sign from above.
