Product Review

An alternative to a heat lamp that uses much less electricity. Uses 22 watts vs 175 or 250 watts for a heat lamp. The bottom-side of the heating plate is approximately 125 degrees when fully heated up.. Allow the plate 1 hour to heat the unit before placing the chicks under it. As the chicks grow, increase height of the plate above the bedding with the adjustable push-button legs. Plate is most effective when chicks can just touch the plate, especially when they are newly hatched. Heating plate is made of ABS plastic and polyurethane insulation. Requires 110 volt outlet. Has 70" cord length. 1 year limited warranty on heating plate.
