I have just - this evening - started using this product for 3 newly hatched chicks. I think I need to buy at least one more of them for future use in the ginormous brooder out in the shed. (The next time I have a SLEW of chicks to brood at the same time.)
I "installed" the EcoGlow in a dresser drawer currently not in a dresser, outfitted with adhesive shelf liner covered by the "gripper" style of shelf liner (non-adhesive). Food and water are at the end of the drawer opposite the EcoGlow.
I took the 3 chicks from the incubator and put them into the dish of feed, the dipped their beaks in the water, and after a minute or so, pushed them gently under the EcoGlow.
They are happily cheeping away beneath the warming plate and then trotting out to investigate their drawer. Then back under the EcoGlow. And so on and so forth. This is a wonderful thing!!!
I am going to be able to finish the dresser brooder tomorrow and place the chick drawer in it, instead of just having the drawer sit on the floor with a grate over the top of it.
