    First time outdoor brooder... am I forgetting anything ?

    You can also just use a piece of cardboard or very thick paper (I zip tie it to the top) - just cut loose and toss when done.

    Eh just wipe it off daily, if needed, and don't worry about cleaning it off until you're done with it. I was just pulling my heating pad set up out and tapping it on the ground to dump the poop off, and that was enough for the 4 weeks they needed it.

    If those are the directions I'd follow directions, for safety reasons. Some plates come with a cover that you can put on top for easier cleaning. As I use a heating pad (not plate) I just put a piece of cardboard on top and throw it away when the chicks are weaned off heat.
