The 250 watt heater provides heat while the vented plastic side panels keep out drafts. It has a socket for a low wattage attraction bulb. Each comes with a thermometer and water thermostat, which is accurate to 1 degree. The floor is
½" mesh which allows droppings to pass through. For quail or small chicks use the DACB paper for 4 to 7 days.
