Chick Brooder Heating Plate 12 x 12 Comfort Plate Keep your Chicks Warm! 22 Watt

 

[Gordenia]

The Comfort heating plate mimics a mother hen by allowing chicks to gather under the plate and keep warm. The heating plate provides a steady, comfortable temperature surface chicks can contact and is rated at 22 watt compared to a standard 175/250 watt heat bulb, which means it costs less to operate than a standard heat lamp setup. Adjustable legs allow you to raise the plate to accommodate the chicks as they grow. A heating plate will also help chicks "harden off" and begin to grow their feathers quicker leading to a healthier bird. Suitable for chickens, ducks, pheasant and quail.

Features & Benefits:
- Mimics mother nature by providing a heat source chicks can gather under like a mother hen
- Adjustable legs allow height to be adjusted as chicks begin to grow
- Heat plates help chicks "harden off" quicker and start growing feathers leading to a healthier bird
- Costs less to operate than a standard heat lamp setup (22 watt vs. 175/250 watt)
- Dual Safety Features: 0.5 Amp resistance fuse and 248°F temperate fuse

Use with the Comfort Heating Plate Cover to prevent chicks from getting on top of the plate and creating a mess with droppings. Cover sold separate, not included with heating plate.

First time seen one. How does it work?

I might try that! Just hope that it wouldn’t hurt the chicks in any way. Can it electrify them?

I’ve used it, they loved it! You just raise it higher as they get bigger and that works pretty good
