So didn't get the ceramic bulbs yesterday but rigged up a way to raise them higher above the brooder boxes. The dimmer looks like a great option too. Add that to be to do list today.
raising it up would work but I don't have a way to do that more than what I have already done. I really like the idea of them not living with a bright light shinning on them. Will be making a trip to Petco this afternoon when the kids go to grandma's. Will see what options they have in the...
Do you brood inside? The 250w bulb I am using now is too warm for inside. So I was going to try 150w ceramic to see if it would work without roasting my chicks.
Do you just screw this into the brooder lamp? I am brooding inside as well and the brooder bulbs the farm store sold are too warm. 150w might be just what I need.
