    Brinsea Ecoglow users. Question using in coop.

    I am a newbie. I just got my bay chicks a week ago and they are doing great in my garage with my Brinsea ecoglow. They love it and it's so fun to watch them come in and out as they please. I have them in a kiddy pool surrounded by 3 foot chicken wire and I have it lined with puppy pads. So far...
