We have a converted shed that is insulated and there is a 250 watt heat bulb set on a timer on the ceiling. Our Colorado winters can be cold so we have sand on the concrete in the house with a little straw to make it warmer. The water is elevated with a thermostatic heat bin placed below it. Their food is elevated as well so they don't kick much into it. Lastly the window is double paned so I can open it during the summer and above the door is a vent to allow air movement in the winter. We want to start new chicks this spring so the brooder would be awesome! Thanks!
