anyone tried a sweeter heater instead of brooder bulb arrangement?

I would go for a Brinsea EcoGlo unit for the brooder, instead. It's designed for that purpose. And is less expensive.
However, I don't think it will be useful as a water warmer or coop heater.

I had never heard of it so I just looked it up. Looks like a great idea to me!
I just bought a ceramic heat emitter for my upcoming brood or I would have gotten one of them!
They show one of their units being used as a chick brooder, right on their website:

You would need to secure it really well so it couldn't fall down and crush the chicks underneath, though.

Mine in use.
And I was suggesting the EcoGlow wouldn't be suitable for coop or water warming, sorry I didn't make that more clear.

How many chicks can get under that? The site says 20 chicks or ducklings, I have about 30ish coming (you know, chicken math). Think it would be ok? I don't want to buy 2, otherwise I think I will go with the ceramic lamp.

It looks like they have eye-hooks in each side and it's hanging- so you could adjust it!
I'm intrigued.

Ooooohh! And you'll notice the various sizes and wattages used...it would save a ton of money from the 250W bulbs I use.
Smaller carbon footprint is always a good thing.
