“First time using heater plate. The instructions were a bit confusing. Black plastic side goes up. I don't like this style, because I can't monitor the health of the weaker chicks. Not bad as a backup heater if you have to split your flock up. I put the healthy chicks with the heater plate, and a traditional heat lamp for sick bay.”
Diana, Thank you for your feedback. After using a heat lamp, heater plates may take time to adjust to, but we assure you that it is worth it. The safety considerations because heat lamps start so many fires, the automatic temperature that doesn't need monitoring, and the cost savings over the red bulb, are just a few reasons newbies and seasoned owners alike have come to love them. We often suggest to customers that you cant the roof by making the legs different lengths. This way you can see under better and it allows for chicks of different sizes to get exactly the heat they need. Please call us if you have questions, we are here to assist you and are eager to help.
“I love my pet chicken and can't wait to use the chick heater plate. I purchased it ahead of time and plan to use it next spring when I get my new chicks. I tried to purchase it last spring and it was sold out so I purchased it early. Everyone at My Pet Chicken is always knowledgeable and helpful.”
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We are very pleased to hear that you appreciate our team as much as we appreciate our customers. You will love using the brooder plate next spring and if you have any questions or concerns we are here to help you!
“This is a GREAT little heater and has been so cozy for my chicks. I have 8 - I'm sure more could fit. I like the option of tilting one side higher than the opposite, giving my "girls" the option for more or less heat as they grow. 2 weeks in and they still snuggle together under the heater for naps and nighttime. REALLY glad I have ditched the lightbulb heater for this safe, reliable heat source.”
“Works well, on our second week using it and it works as described. Keeps chicks warm and they are thriving. No worries about heat lamp starting a fire. Love the adjustability to adapt to growing birds.”
