Brooder Heater for Chicks: Chick Brooder Heating Plate with Easy- Cleaning Plate Poultry Coop Heater Chicks Warmer 10" x 10" for 15 Chicks Adjustable Height Brooding Heater 15 Watts

I bought this brooder for my 15 baby chicks. It worked great and kept them warm. I like that the legs were adjustable so that I could raise it higher as the chicks got bigger. I also like the clear plate that goes on top. It made it easy to clean when my chicks got big enough and started climbing on top of it.

Safe as it does not get hot like heat lamps but stays warm to the touch.

Simple to assemble and easy to adjust.

Perfect size. Good quality and value for the money. Heat seems to be a good temp. No thermometer though so just have to trust the chicks and an additional thermometer. Easy to clean.

Was very easy to set up & use . Chicks loved it. It doesn’t get hot like a heat lamp. Mimics the mother hen. Chicks can rest under it. Haven’t had any issues with chicks getting too warm or developing pasty butt. Happy chick sounds . Would say they definitely approve of it.

I had to purchase a dimmer cord to plug this heater into so it wouldn’t be too hot. I have heard that these shouldn’t get too hot to touch. Also fyi, while I used this on older chicks, I have heard that for brand new chicks, shipped/delivered, they may initially need a heat lamp (watch the featherbrained YouTube video for research backing this), so just an fyi for those just starting out.

why didn't I buy this sooner? Works for my quail, low use of electricity, No more worry of fires, adjustable as they grow, and no loss to chilling. Easy to clean cover for when the little devils (lol) hop up on the cover. The chicks have a natural sequence of day and night as there is no light with this. They squat under it like chicks do under a hen, come out to eat and drink and go back under, quiet quail are happy quail. The people who gave it low rating were not allowing it to heat up for a couple of hours first and you adjust it low so there backs are almost touching it. No more dangerous brooder lamps or light bulbs for me!!

I just recently got into Button Quail, which is the smallest species of quail. Newborn chicks are about the size of a button, hence the name. These guys can be hard to raise since they’re so tiny and sensitive. I purchased this heat plate instead of a lamp since the brooder I set up is just a small storage bin, barely wider than the plate itself and probably big enough for 2 plates total. I had to set it to the absolute shortest setting since my chick is so small, but he loves it! Here’s a pic of him hanging out underneath. Almost a week old now and thriving!

Adjustable, let's off enough heat but not a fire hazard. Chicks loved it.

This is a good little heat plate. (I personally do not recommend this for young chicks but for our 3 week olds this is okay, but I also have them in a heated cage so that they are never too cold.) Like the small size so I can use this in a smaller cage if I want. They can go under or away when they want.

Works great ..would be nice if it was a little larger ...

Brooder plate was shipped quickly, item as described. Keeps the babies nice and warm. Came with no instructions but was easy enough to figure out.

Our chicks really love this, and it works great
