Heat lamp bulb test

Heat lamp bulb test

I think I can control the heat for the peeps by adjusting the height of the lamp. Fortunately its spine is adjustable up and down plus the top part that houses the bulb is a gooseneck. Good, that saves me from having to invent some incredible homemade rig.

It takes a lot of experimenting to get the 95 degree temperature. That will be the hottest spot. The peeps will be able to move away from it so they don’t get cooked. I never plan to cook them. When a friend heard that he said, ‘You are running an egglaying operation followed by a hen retirement home.’ Yep.
