Sure, azygous. It's a Sunbeam X-Press Heat, 12"x15". It will say right on the box that you can turn off the auto-off feature. While the auto-shut off seems silly, daughter says it serves a very good function - if an elderly or otherwise less mobile person lays on the heating pad for too long, they can burn their skin. So it helps prevent that but turning itself off. The problem is trying to find one that doesn't have that feature anymore! I like being able to bypass it for my purposes.
I went out and checked on the Littles. Got the pee-waddin' scared out of me. As I approached the run, I heard the Bigs but no peeping! I ripped open the door and didn't see a single chick running around in their enclosure. There was no sound at all coming from the cave. With my heart down around my knees, I opened their door, crouched and put my hand under the heating. 15 very warm and very startled chicks scurried out like cockroaches when the light comes on! They survived a night that got down to 23 degrees and did just great.
