Our recommended choice if looking for a good quality heat lamp for rearing quail, pheasant and chicks.
Providing your newly hatched chicks with the right heat can make all the difference.
This is the best set up you can provide your newly hatched chicks/pheasants/ducklings. The quality ceramic heat bulb emits ONLY heat (no light) so your chicks will have the warmth they need without light 24/7. This is a more natural way to raise chicks as the chicks will get a good night’s sleep and a rested gut rather than feeding and being active 24/7.
We have raised chicks using this heat source for 20 years very successfully. Works particularly well with pheasants, guinea fowl, quail that seem to crave the heat more than chicken chicks!
The package comes with all the necessary components and instructions to assemble.
We also sell the heat emitter bulbs separately, as always good to have a spare at hand.
Each package includes the following:
- quality European brand ceramic lamp holder, NZ plug, cord and switch
- quality New Zealand made reflector
- quality European ceramic heat emitter
- information sheet on raising day-old chicks
Optional Hanging Chain with Snap Hook
Galvanised hanging chain and snap hook are essentially for secure hanging of your heat source. Length 1.9m The safest support for your heat package.
