Yeah, what he said. I only did the pad underneath once for my Silkie chicks. Otherwise I’m kind of old school - the original way worked fine for me so I stuck with it. A lot of people prefer the pad underneath approach because a few folks reported chicks getting stuck between the frame and the pad and overheating. I never had that happen.

You didn’t say whether the Sunbeam pad you bought can bypass the auto-shut off feature. Can it?

All of the sunbeam pads i have purchased have no auto shut off.

Thanks Penny. I hatch the eggs in cartons so they don't roll around. Works well for me.
