Clean, safe, tough and extremely economical the Brinsea Eco Glow 50 chick brooder is ideal for up to 50 chicks or ducklings and suitable for any waterfowl or game bird chicks. The Eco Glow 50 uses radiant heat and only 60 Watts (a fraction of the electricity of typical suspended infrared lamps) because the chicks are in contact with its warm underneath surface. The brooder runs at 12v for safety from a mains transformer (supplied) and with the convenience of a generous 10 feet power lead. Different sizes of chicks are accommodated thanks to the 4 adjustable legs which allow use at a wide range of heights. One end of the panel may be set lower that the other to accommodate different size chicks all at once. An indicator light confirms the brooder is connected. The low cost of the Eco Glow makes it possible for larger numbers of chicks to be warmed by multiples of brooders. A smaller Eco Glow 20 chick brooder is also available and like all Brinsea products they come with a full 2 year warranty.
