of heat, its better then nothing, and its better then cooking the chicks with a heat lamp from hell.
everything seems to be going good, the chicks are under the lamp, eating and drinking.
now its just a matter of keeping the cat out of the tub. i am thinking of using some bungee cords to secure the lid to the tub. but, i have to leave enough of a crack in the lid so the chicks can get fresh air.
