Evie is doing really well. She has a new best friend - a four-inch, handmade pom pom. It lives just at the edge of the brooder and she snuggles up against it from whatever side she needs - warm or cool. I picked up an Eco20 brooder at TSC for half price a few months ago. I've never used one before ... but I'll never go back to a heat lamp again! Evie darts in and out from under the brooder just like she would with a real Mama hen - and we haven't had to deal with pasty-butt even once. I'm sold!
