Lizard heat lamps come in numerous wattage and red. I've bought the 25 and 50 watt lizard heat lamps when I did not need the higher wattage. They last longer than regular heat lamps do so in the long run I actually saved moeny buying them. Hope this idea helps. Cath
Hi all, Im a fowl newbie to say the least...I just aquired 6 muscovy ducklings (I know they arent chickens, but chickens are on their way)...they are still little guys that are requiring some heat...however, I live in Texas and its not THAT cold here...its only chilly at night...these guys will be free range ducks once they are big enough to be on their own, so I dont really want to build a ginormous duck pen for them if I can avoid it (they will have the option of using the barn for roosting/bad weather when they get bigger)...Id like for them to start spending some time outside and have a small area that I can cordon off for the ducklings... but my question is: the 250W heat lamp will be WAAAAY too hot for the small duck house they will have access to....it will just be a small dog house...do you think using a heating pad would be an option? It would be wrapped in a towel so I could change it often cause they are messy little buggers...any other ideas from those far more experienced? ...This will also likely end up being a chick issue in the near future...however, the chicken coop will be considerably bigger so the large wattage bulb may not pose nearly the same issues...Thanks in advance!
