“I've raised a lot of chicks and always used heat lamps. I bought a Sweeter Heater as I was tired of the lamps burning out. This thing is great! My chicks LOVE it and they are the quietest chicks I've ever raised. I know if I hear them at all that means they need water or food; they make no noise at all otherwise. They are sooooo happy with this and so am I.”
“This heater is awesome ! My hens are 7 months old and tolerate the cold well,but we have some severe cold nights below zero. I purchased the 48 inch size and it is large enough for 16 chickens to snuggle under. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about a headlamp anymore. I was always afraid of a fire and it would keep the chickens up and some hen picking would go on. The heater is well made and came with chain to hang up. I will also be able to use it with my next batch of chicks.”
“I hatched ten chicks and suspended this in their cage - it worked perfectly and they loved it. It doesn't heat up the room either, so that's a great bonus IMO - the targeted warmth lets them decide if they want to be under it or out and running around. No danger of being too hot! My only regret is that I didn't get the larger one, because now I want to put it out in the main coop for the bigger girls.”
“I bought this for chicks coming late February, however we have had such cold weather I hung it in my hen house for the girls. I plug it in at night time, they seem to be very cozy on their roosts.”
