[QUOTE="donna723, post: 211209, member: 1883"] The only thing about those heat lamps ... when they're in use outdoors, if they get even so much as a tiny droplet of water on them, they will shatter into a million little pieces! When I lived in the country we had a well with a little 'dog house' type structure over the pump in the back yard. In the winter we'd rig up a heat lamp inside of it to keep the pump from freezing up. There were many times we got up and had no water, then found the heat lamp bulb shattered in pieces all over the pump house floor and the pump frozen. It's kind of the wrong time of the year to be raising chicks, isn't it? When my daughter was a kid she really wanted to participate in the 4H chicken projects - they gave each kid two dozen chicks that they raised and then sold at auction when they were laying size. Trouble was, they got the chicks in in MARCH, when it was still way too cold for them to be outside. You had to rig up something inside to keep them in! This is how I ended up with two dozen baby chickens living the good life on the floor of my [I]pantry[/I]! [/QUOTE]
