Heating plate simulates a hen keeping chicks warm and cozy beneath her feathers. Uses much less electricity than a heat lamp – only 22 watts (66 for larger plate) vs 175-250 watts for a heat lamp; less risk of fire because of the much lower surface temperature (125°). Directions: Use legs to set height low enough so it almost touches backs of chicks. As chicks grow, adjust legs to increase height. Additional Information Small keeps up to 20 chicks warm; 22 watts/hour; measures 12" x 12". Large keeps up to 50 chicks warm; 66 watts/hour; measures 16" x 24". Height adjusts from 1.5" to 6".
