I have heard amazing things about the quality of Brinsea products and their durability. I was pleasantly surprised to also find they are quite reasonably priced along with their good reputation. The orphan ducklings are warm and safe thanks to this product and the quick and efficient delivery from Chook Manor meant that the ducklings got the best chance of survival possible in the emergency situation.

Brinsea EcoGlow Safety 1200 Chick Brooder (30-35 Day Old Chicks)
$169.90
The NEW Brinsea EcoGlow Safety 1200 Chick Brooder is the efficient and safe way to keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm.
Suitable for max ± 30 to 35 day old chicks.
The low voltage heater panel warms the chicks directly by contact. The radiant heat is far more economical than a conventional infrared lamp, using about 5% of the electricity of a 250 watt suspended lamp, which is important when heating for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Contact with the EcoGlow Safety 1200 is a more natural way of raising chicks than a heat lamp. It avoids the stress of being under light both day and night, this helps the chicks adjust to the natural light changes of night and day which improves weight gain and feather growth.
The metal heater plate of the EcoGlow Safety 1200 improves heat radiation and evenness of temperature under the brooder as metal is a much better conductor of heat. The lower contact temperature and the easy height adjustment means that chicks can be 'contact brooded' (like the mother hen) for maximum comfort and lowest wasted energy.
