RentACoop 10x10” Adjustable Heating Plate with Bonus Foldable Anti-Roost Cone for up to 15 Chicks | Chick Brooder Heat Plate – Energy-Efficient 15-Watt Chick Heater - Safer Than Heat Lamps

Great heater for my coop!!!! This has been working well for my 8 chicks. They figured it out right away. I love that they are not able to perch on the top to keep it clean.

I don’t like heat lamps. I was constantly afraid of fire hazards and the temperatures were fluctuating all the time with the bulbs. I lost 3 new chicks due to over heating bulbs. Hesitant to spend the money on this but gave it a shot. This was easy to set up, but there’s no way to tell what temperature it is once it is turned on. You have to rely on the chicks to tell you whether or not it’s working correctly. My four day old chicks are in my picture and they are showing that yes it was working correctly because they are quiet and cuddling all up against it. I’d say it would fit about 9 chicks comfortably. I can adjust it pretty easily. It came with a cone on top so they don’t roost and poop all over the top. I hope the plate doesn’t overheat, but all I can do is wait-and-see so far I like it a lot. Edit: I did end up using this in addition to a heat lamp, I had to put my heat lamp back in and use this as well. I think this is a great product, but I don’t think it can be used as a standalone. After 24 hours, I noticed my chicks still needed additional heat around the food source as I was using this in the garage. So I did end up adding the heat lamp back in. I just made additional precautions and the heat lamp is now used as a secondary source. I will say the chick are a lot happier, with the heat plate as the primary source for sleeping

Worked great for the baby chickens. They did out grow it really fast but that’s more on my end. Great product for baby chicks. And way cheaper than a heat lamp bulb on your electric bill

The heating plate works great! My chicks love it. I chose this because of the fact it produces heat without the light and the chicks go under it to rest aswell because it’s darker under the plate. The red roof deal isn’t very great because it comes smashed flat and will not seat properly. Although I’m sure if you ran scalding hot water over it to reshape it for a few moments it would be a lot better. This specific brand had a higher star/review rating so that was why I chose it.

My chicks love this warmer! This chick warmer has some great features - it’s warm enough to keep chicks warm when they need it, it’s big enough for my 14 chicks, the legs are infinitely adjustable, & the cone does deter them them from sitting on top. The downside is really just the cone - it does not lay flat on top of the heater & pops up on one side. I have tried to tape it down as I’m afraid an inquisitive chick is going to get under there & get stuck

Works well if you have a smaller flock (chicken math is real 😅) and they can’t jump on it with the cone so it worked great to keep poop off. Resided it when I had an insured hen and it was just enough for her.

We were delighted to find the chick heater available so inexpensive. And best of all, it works so much better and safer, than a heat lamp! It’s been rocking along for a month now, and the chicks are growing daily. T has been very easy to raise it up as they grow. Previous chicks have kept us awake chirping. Not anymore! The snuggle down under the heater and don’t say a word until morning!

Absolutely love this for my chicks. The only thing I wish I did differently was order a bigger size. Due to me getting more baby chicks. So now I have 2 10x10s in the brooder for them. I feel more comfortable leaving my house with heat plate vs the heat lamp. Great product!

Very disappointed with the red roof piece. Made of very cheap corrugated plastic that seems like it was just bent into a shape. Pictures in AD show it looking like solid plastic. Roof is basically junk.
