    Help! Brinsea Ecoglow Safety 600 too hot?

    I bought the Brinsea Ecoglow Safety 600 chick brooder and it arrived yesterday. The heat plate is much hotter than expected. I can't hold my fingers against it for more than a couple of seconds. Touching the plate reminds me of walking barefoot on very hot sand -- you can hardly stand to walk on...

    Using Ecoglow for water heater... thoughts??

    I have an Ecoglow from our brooder days this past spring. I was thinking of placing a plastic dog bowls on it to keep the water from freezing. I'll have to figure out a way to secure it so it doesn't tip. Any thoughts or opinions?

    Brooding Chicks: The First 6 Weeks

    Whether you've just hatched your own chicks in your incubator, an ordered batch of chicks from the hatchery has just arrived, or you brought home a box of fuzzy butts of joy from the feed store, if you don't have a broody in your coop to raise them you will need to brood and raise them yourself...
