Photo Hunt : Theme Hot

Heat LampThis weeks theme is hot and I can tell you that when you mistakenly touch this heat lamp, it is very hot.

This heat lamp is dual purpose.

 

Guinea Fowl Keets In New BrooderPiglets under heat lamp

We have used it on the farm when the young guinea fowl keets are in the brooder and need the temperature to be higher than the normal air temperature. We have also recently used the heat lamp to keep the piglets warm when they were not suckling on the sow. The piglets are just over three weeks old and no longer need the lamp.

  1. Great take on the theme! We used a lamp similar to that when my sister’s dog gave birth to 10 puppies. I have another entry at http://mlizcochico.wordpress.com. Happy photo hunting.
