“The name for this coop and chick brooder heater says it all. It is a no fire nor overheating risk to your coop nor baby chicks. As they grow you simply adjust the height. The only temporary downside is the plastic coating needs to ‚Äúburn off‚Äù during the first few days of use and puts off an unpleasant odor. The chicks seemed unaffected, but I recommend setting up your brooder for at least 2 days before the babies arrive.”
“This eater has worked well for my baby chicks, but after a month it is already starting to turn yellow from the constant heat. I‚Äôm not convinced this will last through a whole winter season. We will see.”
“This heater was good. We never felt as if it was a fire hazard. We liked being able to raise and lower as needed and that we can use it in the coop at a later time. The only concern was that when it was really cold outside (40's) it was hard to keep the brooder at warmer temps and had to use an alternate heat souce for the room it was in.”
“I was really hesitant about this sweeter heater for my 5 girls last winter but I also didn't want to deal with the sleepless nights worrying about that red heat lamp.So..I purchased the 11 x 16 and hung on wall next to one of their roosting poles. Every night, as I closed all my barn doors and coops, the hens were all on the one next to the sweeter heater. So it must have warm!
This spring, I have my little batam chicks in the house with the sweeter heater; angled on a wall of brooder (I like to watch them) put some nesting material in front of it...and they all just sit together comfortable. Sometimes they go under like a tent. I love I
the sweeter heater! No more worries about breaking of the lamp.”
