Ensure your chicks' optimal growth and health with the Comfort Heating Plate, designed specifically for chick brooders. This efficient heating plate, measuring 16x16 inches and operating at 42 watts, simulates the natural warmth of a mother hen. It's perfect for keeping 30-35 chicks comfortably warm and is ideal for small to medium brooders. Ideal for use in smaller flocks where a 250 watt bulb will consume many times more electricity to generate heat that is not needed. The adjustable height feature means it can adapt as your chicks grow.
