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

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

Loved this red heater and how its design to last. Great size for my brooder box and very easy to assemble and very functional build as my pullets got bigger it was easy to rise up the roof for them to fit under and protect them from any coolness. Later I took it apart and stood it up against the brooder when they were older and they would lay near it to feel the warmth. This is better than any heat lamp. Good for the price.

Works great and so much better than a heat lamp.

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

This worked very well with my baby chicks ,it kept them warm and comfortable.

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!

This is amazing! No fire risk while sleeping, out, awake and chicks love it! I love it more then eco glow because you can adjust it any which way. I like 1front side higher with both back lower like an askew lean-to to get chicks who originally spent a week in a heat light brooder and then I brought them home to go under this rent a coop plate brooder. They picked it up immediately due to their instinct to squish under a hot “hen”’s butt. In lieu of a broody hen or 250watt red light, there is No fire risk! There’s even an accessory to temp control it. I just used a reptile thermometer underneath. It was so adjustable. No annoying issues with changing levels to adjust for temp even while chicks were underneath! They love it, they love it so much they heat up and the. Hop atop to congregate in a chick party like it’s a pontoon boat. So there’s a cone you can get to fit atop. I recommend this after 1 week of age because step 1 is chick party boat, yep 2 is they want to flappy-launch themselves out of the brooder and poop all over it. So get the red cone that Fits perfectly on the ‘rent a coop heating plate for chicks’ I say “Hurray for the cone!” [Pssst —->the chicks say “boooooo” to cone] because the cone keeps them safely sliding off their favorite roost so they can’t high-jump to vault their flappy dinosaur selfs out of the brooder. I loved seeing this company was a small farm that patented their version of this plate. Not a fan of big corporate death cults so yay for the small business called “rent a coop”! I’m so happy that I’ve recommended to others already after 1 week. 5stars! My chick thinks she’s in the egg still, she’s so cozy after being underneath she is egg napping on top before I ruin her fun with the cone of course!
