Premier Chick Brooder Heating Plate - 12" x 12"

How to use: Use the yellow legs to set the height low enough so the underside of the heater almost touches the backs of chicks. Raise the plate as chicks grow. Worried that the plate feels hot to the touch? It isn’t. If chicks get too warm, they can and do move out from under it for a time. Don’t overcrowd—chicks need to have space to move around as they like. Keeps up to 20 chicks warm Uses 90% less electricity than common heat lamps (22W vs. 175–250W) Chicks stay warm by near contact with the warm underside of the plate; the bottom surface of the heater is warm, but not hot As chicks grow, use the included height adjustable legs to raise the plate above the bedding and chicks Less risk of fire! Due to much lower surface temperature (only 125°F) 6 ft electrical cord If hand-washing to remove dust and debris, do not submerge in water. Pair with a Premier 1 Supplies Chick Nipple Waterer.
