azygous I've recommended it a couple of times already to long time chicken owners and I've only had my heating pad "mama" for a day, I like it that much.
edit: I just thought of this. Since the heating pad idea is (as far as I'm concerned) such an huge advantage over a heat lamp then why isn't there a "chick-brooding-pad" being manufactured by someone? Heck you could create a "hen-cave" with a heating pad or similar element in it and probably sell thousands of them to back yard chicken owners.
There are a few.... . Not soft and pliable as a heating pad but each is close to 90 bucks.
