jam Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Today I went out for a few hours with my parents. When I came back I discovered that the infra red bulb warming the chicks had blown, the poor things were all snuggled in a tight ball! But they still felt really warm when I put my hand around them. They're ok now, but I was really worried about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 You should be able to get a replacement today. I'd pop a hot water bottle in with them for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 In an emergency a 60w standard light bulb will keep them warm enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 After my first bulb going I know always keep a spare - typically they always go when the shops are closed. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
