Hello,
We have been working on our brooder house, we installed the infra-red heater but it does not keep the 10x14 room heated at night as we would like. For now we are also using a regular electric heater to supplement the infra -red heater for the night time cool/cold nights. This is working good since the infra-red heater has a thermastat to kick on and off as needed. We are using clear bulbs since Jumbo Coturnix Quail dont have a problem with pecking. Our young chicks (up to a week old) seem to do better still using a light over the bins, I dont think it is so much for heat but they seem to stay spreaded out more evenly in the bin with addition light.
I will post the picture this week end.


Have A Great Day
