Heating plates hover over your chicks like a mother hen—chicks go under the plate and touch their backs to it. The plate’s warm underside offers just the right amount of heat for young birds. If chicks get too warm, they can (and do) move out from under it.
Key features:
- Uses less electricity*
Only 15–66 watts/hour
- Lower risk of fire*
Due to lower surface temperature (only 125°F)
- Adjustable leg design
As chicks grow, raise the plate
- Sizes for all flocks
Options for 15–50 chicks
- Optional accessories
Thermostats (for adjusting heat output) and Covers (for preventing fouling and perching)
* vs. common metal heat lamps

I love my heating plates. I haven't lost a single chick as they can freely leave the heat any time. And I find weaning them off heat easier. I would highly recommend these plates to anyone looking for a brooding solution.
