The whole brooder will be going outside soon, in an unheated shed. I guess we should hang onto the light for that. If I had a large enough box, I would not be worried about the 250 infared at all....but I really feel they don't have room to get away from it. Stupid youtube! (Where I got the idea for this setup) On youtube someone used a tub 2/3 this size indoors, and clipped the same lamp right on it. I guess maybe if I could watch them constantly and ensure they are not overheating it could work, but I think we'll be stopping at a hardware store for a NON infared lamp for now. I had no idea an accurate air temp would not register with this type of light. How confusing!
Is a white "heat lamp" better, or would a 100 watt flood would work OK?
