Correction....good for 20 chickens and I’m up to 15 lol. This Sucker was WAY too small....I sent it back. I ordered 5 Barnvelder. I may order the larger Brinsea but the largest is way too expensive.......and it does come with a cover.

Ok you talked me into it. Going to order a Brinsea Ecoglow20 safety 600 brooder Good for 35 chicks and I have 10!

-6° here....balmy compared to you!☀️

God how cold is it there......🤔😖

Ok

Show me how you angle it....please....🤔

Being 1 hr NW of Edmonton (my sister and husband live in Edmonton), you are a good one to give me advice on brooders lol must be COLD! So you use that brooder plate? I will look into it. You figure the large plate will be good for 10 chicks? Hey....💡I got a bright idea....I’ll set up my brooder...

Absolutely.....they will be in a Xlarge dog crate. I have a Great Dane crate also. Fits me! The inside of the cat/dog carrier gets to 92° bc I measured the temp. I’m looking into getting another one on kijiji that is slightly bigger 28"x20"x19" mine is almost that big. Set up the same way, this...

Welcome from a Newbie.

Well I just picked up a book from the library on hatching and. Brooding your own chicks....I’ll see what they have to say but my set up is the same as "mama in the brooder post" lol I’m just not using a heating pad and this heater is zero clearance. It has hooks on the back to attach to the...

The dog crate is much bigger and one heater wouldn’t reach 92° and I guess they don’t need it that warm by the third week.

I put my thermometer in there and measured it and Left it on all day to be sure. Tho you could Be right Lol

No I would hang my chicken heaters inside off the wall. Then put the mat heater in and cover the crate with the comforter. If it wasn’t warm enuf I could hang a second chicken heater?

I also have a small dog cage that I could hang the chicken heater in for week 3.....I would definitely hold 10 growing guys.

Ok Thxs for the advice about on the way home. This is what I made....it’s 24”L x 14”W x 12”H . The bottom under the shavings is the heated seed starter pad...then I put a comforter over top. the white thing is the chicken heater...not hot to the touch with the white cover on it. When both are on...

Hello, is this a brooding plate? It’s what I have. I figure if they can run around with mom then have her keep them warm at night this could simulate it. They can go into the large carrier that I have it in with shavings and warms it to 92° this way no lights on 24/7. I’d really appreciate some...

POL birds?.........sorry I’m new. He was not very organized! I’m already organizing by brooder and area.....I don’t want to lose any! Lol since I’ve only got 10! I’m going to get a backup chicken heater in case this one dies. Got to be prepared!

Man you’ve got lots of chickens! I’ve got 5 cats too and a killer caique. Tried to pierce my lip once. Little bugger.

Oh wow he’s gorgeous. Never heard of them...I will have to research. Here’s my gang. Minus the little red guy...he just passed in his 14th year. I’ve got 65 acres but rented out to cash crops. Probably 12 bare as I used to have horses.

what a coincidence I was going to recommend a LGD. I had a Great Pyrenees. Miss her dearly. Probably died of cancer. Tried a puppy after her but ended up being a cross, of what I don’t know and turned out to be vicious towards ppl. She bit my grown daughter on the thigh. Went right through her...
