I have had this for a year now,I don't like it for my bantam day old chicks it does not keep them warm enough.I did read that you can take the black leg off one end and keep the other one on and the chicks will go to the lower end to keep warm,I ended up putting a heating pad down for them plus the ecoglow.My house stays 70 so that's not the problem.I`m sure in a few days I can take the heating pad out
