Mimic mother nature and get your chicks off to a healthy start with the Comfort Heating Plate!

The Comfort heating plate mimics a mother hen by allowing chicks to gather under the plate and keep warm. The heating plate provides a steady, comfortable temperature surface chicks can contact and is rated at 22 watt compared to a standard 175/250 watt heat bulb, which means it costs less to operate than a standard heat lamp setup. Adjustable legs allow you to raise the plate to accomodate the chicks as they grow. A heating plate will also help chicks "harden off" and begin to grow their feathers quicker leading to a healthier bird. Suitable for chickens, ducks, pheasant and quail.

Features & Benefits:
- Mimics mother nature by providing a heat source chicks can gather under like a mother hen
- Adjustable legs allow height to be adjusted as chicks begin to grow
- Heat plates help chicks "harden off" quicker and start growing feathers leading to a healthier bird
- Costs less to operate than a standard heat lamp setup (22 watt vs. 175/250 watt)
- Dual Safety Features: 0.5 Amp resistance fuse and 248°F temperate fuse

Use with the Comfort Heating Plate Cover to prevent chicks from getting on top of the plate and creating a mess with droppings. Cover sold seperate, not included with heating plate.

How high should I adjust the heating plate?
Bottom height of plate should be set even with the level of birds' backs. Check height weekly as birds grow and adjust accordingly. Birds should appear content and rest laying down or standing under the plate. If they are excessivly "peeping", or refuse to go under or come out from underneath the plate, the heigh is not adjusted correctly.
