growfessorChick Brooder Heating Plate - 10" x 10" for up to 15 Chicken coop Heater, Adjustable Height Brooder Heater Plate 15 Watts Incubator

I have three, 4 day old chicks that are using this brooder, along with a vertical heat plate in their brooder box. They seem to be alternating which they prefer to use but seem happy enough under this brooder. It feels warm-hot to the touch, but not hot enough to burn. The directions say that the red light turns on to indicate it is on, but the light regularly turns off. I messaged the sellers and they assured me it's part of a safety mechanism that prevents the brooder from getting too hot. So that light doesn't indicate power to the unit, but rather just when it's heating up.I'm not sure that this maintains a constant, consistent temperature; and I'd like to see a light that indicates power, IN ADDITION to the "heating up" light.But overall seems solid enough, and chicks seem happy.

This product was easy to set up. I think the size is perfect for a newborn chick. It works exactly as described and was very easy to put together. It seems to keep everyone perfectly warm without overheating and I love it!

Fue la mejor decisión que tomé para nuestros polluelos recién nacidos, una opción mucho mejor que una lámpara de calor tradicional. La baja producción de electricidad fue un alivio para mis facturas de energía, y la ausencia de riesgo de incendio proporcionó tranquilidad.Configurar el plato de la incubadora es muy fácil. Simplemente ajústalo a la altura deseada, colócalo en el recinto y observa cómo los polluelos se acurrucan debajo de él. Las patas resistentes aseguran que se mantenga en su sitio, incluso cuando las pollitos se ponen aventureros y saltan a la cima.La función de ajuste de altura de la placa de incubación ha sido un regalo del cielo a medida que mis pollitos han crecido. Es muy fácil de ajustar, asegurando que los pollitos siempre tengan la cantidad correcta de calor. Colocados frente a una ventana soleada, las chicas han sido capaces de desarrollar un ritmo natural de día y noche.Por las noches, incluso a las tres semanas de edad, mis polluelos todavía encuentran consuelo en los bordes del plato de la incubadora. Ha sido un ajuste perfecto para nuestros bebés, aunque sugeriría un máximo de 6-8 polluelos por plato para garantizar que todos tengan suficiente espacio, especialmente a medida que se acercan a la marca de tres semanas.En general, el precio era bueno y me gustan los soportes ajustables. Hasta ahora, a mis pollitos les encanta.

I bought 2 of these, with one as a backup if needed. I needed it today and it keeps shutting off. Shame on me for not testing it first. I am very disappointed but lesson learned. Unfortunately the window for return has closed and I have a brand new plate that I can't return and doesn't work. The other one is working fine but my backup was a fail.Update: this one failed too after a week of use. Junk! Do not buy it. I'd give it 0 stars if I could.

I got this for new chicks, which need to start off at about 95 degrees. It’s only temping at around 85 degrees. I ended up ordering a back up of a different heat plate. It could be good for a few week old chicks.
