Congratulations, Kathy! Amazing how fast this year's have flown.
I also have a Premier plate. If you don't adjust them properly the chicks can be too close to the heat plate. The legs are independently adjustable, so I always raise one edge higher so the chicks can pick their own comfort zone, and adjust them higher weekly.
The things I like are that they are UL listed and the electronics are sealed up and unlikely to get wet or fray. Compared to older heating pads, which are kind of scary. When they stay on for long periods of time, like days (which they are not intended for), the wiring can overheat or short out.
. Those Arkansas Blues can keep you waiting.
