An alternative to a heat lamp. Less of a fire risk. A heating plate simulates a hen keeping chicks warm and cozy beneath her feathers.
Chicks stay warm by contact with warm underside of the plate. The bottom-side surface of the heating plate is warm, but not hot.
Height easily adjusts from 1.5" - 6" using adjustable legs to accommodate the size of your chicks.
Warms up to 15 chicks. Requires 110 volt outlet and uses 15 watts/hr. 1 year limited warranty on heating plate.
HIGHLY recommend optional transparent plastic plate cover (item 5402078) to prevent older chicks from perching on top and keeps unit clean. SAVE $$$ by purchasing kit with Chick Heating Plate and Cover included (Item 540228) on Amazon.
