    Are heating plates really less risky than heat lamps?

    Are heating plates really less risky than heat lamps? Or are they similar in risk in terms of spontaneously starting a fire? Which one is guaranteed to be 100% safer? Also, I have a red heat bulb that is 250 watts 120 volts plugged into a short extension cord into a wall socket. The wall socket...

    Eglu with heat lamp as a brooder?

    I have a question, has anyone put a heat plate (We have the yellow mama hen one) into an eglu house? I'm hoping to move my chicks from this hatch outside sooner this time round, and set up an outdoor brooder for them. My idea is to put the eglu on our patio with slabs under and slabs on the...

    How close for the heating lamp ?

    Bringing home baby new chicks and we are using a heating bulb. I’ve attached pictures but if keeping the bulb above the mesh top (to be done today) will that be too cold for the chicks ? Not sure how close to the bottom to position the heat lamp. The tub is 13” high. Thanks in advance y’all !!

    If warm outside, no heat lamp at month old

    I have 3 four week old chicks that I am about to transfer to a tent in garage from their small brooder. At night I plan to put heat lamp on, but do they need it if the outside temp is above 80 degrees? And probably warmer in garage. Thank you for any info.

    Transition from Heat Lamp to Brooder Plate

    7 days old chicks today. Heat lamp has been above them ~15 inches, thermometer shows 93 degrees. I wanted to transition to a brooder plate, so I warmed it up on medium setting and placed it in the brooder. I turned off the heat lamp for around an hour. When I came to check on them, they were all...

    Brooder plate vs heat lamp - larger brood

    I recently got a larger order of chicks shipped to me. I made a mistake in using a brooder plate that was too small.. I should have used a heat lamp (which I switched to right away for the first week) but I lost a couple of chicks due to smothering the others underneath. My mistake, I am...

    Transitioning 2.5 week old chicks from heat lamp to heat plate

    In order to give the chicks dark at night, I thought to transition them from the heat lamp we were using right from the start, to a heat plate. I swapped them out an hour ago and none of them will try it yet. Will they eventually figure out? There's lots of peeping and standing around with...

But when my in-laws asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said 'anything for chickens' and they were amazing went all out (I don't have chickens yet, but am planning on getting some within the year).
