I just received this heating plate in the mail and plugged it in. The instructions say to set it low enough that the chick can touch it. After letting it run for a while I tested it by touching it myself and it was pretty darn hot. I'm unable to leave my finger in contact with it for more than a few seconds.
Has anyone else used one of these before? I wonder how the chicks don't burn themselves on it.
