Sweeter Heater
This looks like the Sweeter Heater, which can be raised and lowered to give infared heat to baby birds but also with kennels, reptiles, chicken coops, other birds, etc. It gives off about 185 degrees of heat so also able to be used out in the chicken barn too for the older Chickens. It has a 3 year warranty, and is sealed, can be washed and sanitized. People say the chicks are less stressed versus heat lamps, as being under the Sweet Heater it is like being under a hen. And it is supposed to be safer the heat lamps and use less electricty too.
