AJuff Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 For our school chicks I need the safest brooder set up possible. Some homemade brooders seem to have bulbs and wires etc. Can any of you advise me of the safest set up? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'd go for an indoor rabbit cage with an electric hen I've seen nasty burns caused by bulbs The electric hens are very warm underneath but not too hot on the top The only problem with using one is that the chicks will vanish under it and the children wont see as much of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Similarly, mine are in an old rat cage. Mine is this one http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/hutches_cages/rat_cage/13280 or you might get an old Jenny one on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
