That looks like a massive fire hazzard to me. Heat lamps start house fires all the time.

I use a Brensa ambient heat. It's adjustable and will NOT burn the chicks if accidentally touched. I have used the brensa for 11 years now. It's low wattage and chicks love it. If you get a chance to check it out. Some other heating plates can and do burn chicks. This you won't have to worry about fire at all. Ps. I also keep my chicks in a Large dog crate. Mine is inside however and it's wrapped with two blankets for draft and cardboard is placed on 1/2of the front door because they were escaping out of the bars. Now they don't try. Best wishes . I do have a large coop and large run when they get bigger. They are too small to be out just yet. Good luck. And I would worry about raccoons. They are awful and bite the heads off. Better safe than sorry but I'm a bit over protective. I lost a hen a couple years ago to a raccoon. My rooster fought him off and saved the rest.
