  • Warmth from above. Chicks go under to warm up and walk out when they have had enough, the way they would with a broody hen. No bulb over the bedding.
  • Grows with them. The legs set the plate at 3.5, 5.5 or 7.5 in, and the plate tilts.
  • Three heat levels. Low, medium or high from a switch on the cord. 65 W, 110 V.

Warmth from above, the way a hen does it.

Chicks huddle under this plate the same way they would under a broody hen: they go under to warm up and walk out when they have had enough. There is no bulb hanging over the bedding.

Raise it as they grow. The legs set the plate at 3.5, 5.5 or 7.5 in, and the plate tilts, so older and taller birds still fit underneath.

Three heat levels. A switch on the cord sets low, medium or high. Start on a higher setting for day-old chicks and step down as they feather out.

Before you order: This is a compact plate for a small batch of chicks. For a large brood, use two. Set it up inside a brooder box on a stable, level floor, keep the cord where chicks cannot peck at it, and do not cover the plate. The underside gets hot on the high setting, so let it cool before you touch it.

Is it big enough for my chicks?

The plate is 12.6 x 7.9 in (32 x 20 cm), a compact size for a small batch of chicks. For a large brood, use two plates side by side.

Which heat level should I use?

Start on a higher setting for day-old chicks and step down as they feather out. Measured on the plate surface: low 104 to 108 °F, medium 122 to 126 °F, high 140 to 145 °F. Watch the chicks: if they crowd under the plate, they want more warmth; if they stay away from it, less.

How do I set it up safely?

Set it up inside a brooder box on a stable, level floor. Keep the cord where the chicks cannot peck at it, and do not cover the plate. The underside gets hot on the high setting, so let it cool before you touch it.

Quieter than a lamp

No bright light keeping them up all night.

Height adjusts as they grow. Three heat levels. Simple.

Raised it twice already

They grow fast. Plate goes up with them.

As expected

Better than a heat lamp

Plate hangs above them, chicks go under when cold. No bulb to knock into the shavings.

J
J. Patterson

Set it up in a plastic tote. Chicks found the warm spot within an hour.

Chicks look comfortable

Less nighttime peeping than with a lamp. Feels more natural.

No fire worry

Shavings underneath and nothing glowing. That sold me.
