i'm setting up the brooder for next weeks hatch and i can't bring myself to put the heat lamp up again. i'm really worried about fire hazard and last time i used it it scorched the wooden dowel i had it clamped to.
there are a bunch of posts on here, but i can't find anything i'm happy with. I'm also thinking about putting my chicks out in the coop during winter (once they're feathered), and if i found something safe i might be able to provide a little heat in case they need it (i don't want to heat the whole coop). i'm not sure i can swing the cost of the ecoglow.
what are some alternatives?
a reptile rock? heating pad?
how about one of those mini space heaters like this one from home depot: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lasko-My...eater-White-101/205418065?N=5yc1vZc4lhZ2bctl0
