I have done all three. I would love this product. We are expecting some chicks this spring and this would be much safer then the Heat Lamp…

I love your blog! I’ve come back to it again and again for advice on different issues that I’ve faced as a chicken keeper. Hoping that I win!

Just subscribed, looking for lots of good information and advice for my first chickens this spring, planning on hatching, am going to need a brooder.

Just found your site! Love it so far! We have been keeping chickens for about 2 years now and are going to start raising our own. This would be great for us just getting starting.
