It is usually seventy or sixty eight degrees where my brooder is, (it's inside my house) my brooder wall is 17 inches, so how many inches should be from the tip top of the wall to the 250 watt heat bulb? (I have five chicks).
Be careful with a 250 watt bulb. I had 20 chicks in my garage with a 75 watt bulb, 18 inches high and they were fine. A 250 might be too hot for just 5 chicks.It is usually seventy or sixty eight degrees where my brooder is, (it's inside my house) my brooder wall is 17 inches, so how many inches should be from the tip top of the wall to the 250 watt heat bulb?

You'd be surprised how fast a bin this size will heat up, its best you get a thermometer. You have it pretty high but I still feel its going to overheat.
