We are trying out a new heater. Previously we have used an infrared heat lamp, but that means the chicks keep waking up in the night and rioting - which gets a bit annoying.
You can see it on the left of the photo, they go under it and touch the surface above to keep warm - kind of like a square plastic hen. It is a lot cooler than the heat lamp and we have it at an angle so they can chose how closely they want to touch it. It is cheaper to run than a heat lamp and not a problem if it touches something - less chance of burning the house down.
