🔥 Infrared Ceramic Lamp Bulb - Ceramic Heat Emitter for Reptile Vivariums, Brooders, Coops, and Pets (250 Watts) Review

Hangs about 30cm above the incubator and the temperature is about 85-95°F degrees depending on the temperature outside the incubator (70-75°F). If you insulate the brooder, it can get warmer. The incubator used here is 2 feet long, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot high. I wouldn't use it closer than a foot to the chickens. The lamp feels very hot.

I'll probably upgrade to higher performance, but overall it works very well.

The second was about 5 feet long and was used to account for changes in room temperature, drafts and the time mom spent with the puppies. A stable, comfortable temperature remained between the two light bulbs in the box. A lightbulb 5 feet away alone would not be able to heat the box.
