Description

Amazon’s choice Brinsea Eco Glow chick brooder for warming newly hatched chicks or ducklings (ASIN B008HVM56Q) has been redesigned to be even safer, more economical and easier to clean. The new Eco Glow 20 Safety 600 chick brooder is ideal for warming up to 20 newly hatched chicks or ducklings and suitable for any waterfowl or game-bird chicks. It is also ideal for classroom hatches. This chick warmer only uses 12 watts (5% of the electricity of typical suspended poultry heat lamps) because the chicks are in contact with its warm under-surface as they would under the mother hen. The new Eco Glow 20 Safety 600 chick brooder uses a metal warming plate which evens out hot and cold spots which occur with plastic heat plates improving heat radiation. The new flared skirt design also retains more heat further reducing energy use. Unlike other chick heating plates the Brinsea Eco Glow brooders run at 12Volt from a mains transformer (supplied) – a much safer option than mains voltage chicken heating plates or heat lamps. Other features include easy height settings for a wide range of chick sizes thanks to the 4 adjustable legs, a generous 10 feet power lead for extended reach, an indicator light, Bio master plastics and a FREE clear cover to make cleaning as easy as possible. Replacement covers are available in a pack of 3 (ASIN B07PZHPRML). 3-Year warranty subject to registration. For brooding larger numbers of chicks see the Brinsea Eco Glow Safety 1200 (ASIN B07PW2S49F)

Directions: This product is for indoor use only and the room temperature should not drop below 50°F (10°C). To get the best use from this low power unit it is important to understand that there is no big margin of ‘spare’ heat and some precautions need to be taken. It is better to have the unit on a lower height setting. The chicks will move away from the EcoGlow if they are too warm. We recommend putting the brooder against one side of the brooder box so that the birds can only enter on the other side. This conserves warmth under the brooder but still allows birds to move freely out into the open as they wish. Another useful trick is to put the whole brooder box on a slab of 1” Styrofoam to reduce heat loss from the bottom. Because the heat from the black underside of the EcoGlow is largely radiant, measuring the temperature with a thermometer is of little value. Radiant heat passes through air without warming it. Only a solid object will absorb and be warmed by radiant heat. So a thermometer will register the air temperature but not the radiant heat and will usually show some 5 to 10°F lower than the effective temperature felt by the chicks. Always watch the behavior of the birds. They will naturally huddle together if they are cool. The more of them, the less external warmth they need.
