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 20 chicks. Requires 110 volt outlet and uses 22 watts/hr.
Highly recommend using optional transparent cover (Item 540205 on Amazon) to keep heat plate clean by preventing chicks from perching on top. Save $$$ by purchasing heat plate and cover kit. (Item 540226 on Amazon)
