AJuff Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Looking for an electric hen i saw an electric hen blanket for sale that is a heated pad that sits on the bottom of the brooder. Anyone tried one? Heat from below as good as heat from above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've not seen that but I have used reptile heat mats. As long as the heat is warm enough it will be fine There has been a lot of fear of tummy problems with chicks heated from below but that seems to be pretty unfounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
