RentACoop 10x10” Adjustable Heating Plate with Bonus Foldable Anti-Roost Cone for up to 15 Chicks | Chick Brooder Heat Plate – Energy-Efficient 15-Watt Chick Heater - Safer Than Heat Lamps

Works great and so much better than a heat lamp.

I don’t like heat lamps. I was constantly afraid of fire hazards and the temperatures were fluctuating all the time with the bulbs. I lost 3 new chicks due to over heating bulbs. Hesitant to spend the money on this but gave it a shot. This was easy to set up, but there’s no way to tell what temperature it is once it is turned on. You have to rely on the chicks to tell you whether or not it’s working correctly. My four day old chicks are in my picture and they are showing that yes it was working correctly because they are quiet and cuddling all up against it. I’d say it would fit about 9 chicks comfortably. I can adjust it pretty easily. It came with a cone on top so they don’t roost and poop all over the top. I hope the plate doesn’t overheat, but all I can do is wait-and-see so far I like it a lot. Edit: I did end up using this in addition to a heat lamp, I had to put my heat lamp back in and use this as well. I think this is a great product, but I don’t think it can be used as a standalone. After 24 hours, I noticed my chicks still needed additional heat around the food source as I was using this in the garage. So I did end up adding the heat lamp back in. I just made additional precautions and the heat lamp is now used as a secondary source. I will say the chick are a lot happier, with the heat plate as the primary source for sleeping

Works great and all 5 chicks fit great under it. And the adjustable legs and temp are. Awsome

This worked very well with my baby chicks ,it kept them warm and comfortable.

Absolutely love this for my chicks. The only thing I wish I did differently was order a bigger size. Due to me getting more baby chicks. So now I have 2 10x10s in the brooder for them. I feel more comfortable leaving my house with heat plate vs the heat lamp. Great product!

Must have for baby chicks way safer and easier than heat lamp

The heating plate works great! My chicks love it. I chose this because of the fact it produces heat without the light and the chicks go under it to rest aswell because it’s darker under the plate. The red roof deal isn’t very great because it comes smashed flat and will not seat properly. Although I’m sure if you ran scalding hot water over it to reshape it for a few moments it would be a lot better. This specific brand had a higher star/review rating so that was why I chose it.

Works well. I plugged mine into a smart plug to set times for it to turn on and off, which really helped.
