Farmight Chick Brooder Heating Plate – Adjustable Baby Chick Heater Give newly hatched chicks a more natural way to stay warm with the Farmight Chick Brooder Heating Plate. This adjustable chick brooder heater provides direct warmth underneath the heating plate, allowing chicks to move in and out as needed while creating the sheltered feeling of being under a mother hen. Unlike a traditional heat lamp that warms the entire brooder area, this heating plate is designed to warm chicks through contact, making it a practical option for chick brooding. Available in three sizes, the Farmight heating plate can accommodate small groups of chicks through larger batches of up to 60 birds. The height adjusts as chicks grow, and the adjustable legs can be positioned at different heights to accommodate birds of different sizes, including large fowl and bantams being raised together. Key Features Adjustable Height: Set the heating plate from approximately 1.5 inches to 6 inches high, allowing you to raise the heater as chicks grow and giving them room to choose their preferred position. Direct Contact Heating: Warms chicks underneath the plate rather than heating the entire brooder, giving chicks access to a sheltered, hen-like warming area. Three Size Options: Choose a small, medium, or large heating plate based on the number of chicks you are brooding. Adjustable Sections: The plate can be positioned at different heights so large fowl and bantams can be raised together while each bird can find a comfortable spot. Thermostat-Regulated Heating: The heater cycles on and off according to the thermostat inside the unit, adjusting its heating time based on surrounding temperatures. Lower Power Consumption: Power usage ranges from 15 watts for the small model to 60 watts for the large model, making it easy to identify the appropriate power requirement for your selected size. 6-Foot Power Cord: Each heating plate includes a 6-foot plug-in cord, providing practical reach when setting up the brooder. Designed for Easier Chick Brooding Height adjustment is one of the most useful features of this chick brooder heater. Start with the plate positioned just above the chicks' heads, then raise it as they grow. If the chicks begin spending more time around the edges rather than underneath the plate, that is an indication that the heater may need to be raised. The adjustable design is also useful when brooding large fowl and bantams together. You can set one side of the heating plate lower and the other higher, allowing birds to move to the area that suits them instead of requiring the entire brooder to be maintained at one height. For nighttime brooding, a nightlight is recommended so chicks that wander away from the heating plate can see well enough to return underneath it. Before introducing chicks, plug the heating plate in for about one hour so it has time to warm up.
