Guys I need help, what’s the best heater for the chicks brooder?

It depends, some people use heater plates or momma heating pads, or heat lamps. There's not really a best.

I think it comes down to personal preference. I absolutely love my Brinsea EcoGlow heaters.

I really like this one. It is manufactured by GQF. It kept my fall hatched chicks plenty warm out in the brooder coop. They never huddled. They found their comfort zone in a circle around it. The thermostat is great for spring hatched chicks. So that if you get an unusually warm day. It will shut down, not just keep heating away. Making the chicks uncomfortable and using electricity unnecessarily.
