Farmight Chick Brooder Heater Plate, Adjustable Height, 3 Size Options

Keep your baby chicks warm, safe, and content with the Farmight Chick Brooder Heater Plate—the safer, smarter alternative to dangerous heat lamps that mimics a mother hen's natural warmth.

Safety First: No More Fire Risk
Heat lamps cause fires! This innovative brooder heater eliminates that terrifying risk while providing superior warmth and comfort for your chicks. It's the investment that protects your flock and your property.

Why This Heater Is a Game-Changer:

🐥 Mimics Mother Hen's Wings
Chicks instinctively seek warmth from above, just like snuggling under their mother's wings. This heater provides that natural, comforting warmth in the darkness, keeping chicks calm, confident, and remarkably quiet.

🔥 Eliminates Fire Hazard
Unlike traditional heat lamps that can fall, overheat, or ignite bedding, this heater operates safely at low temperatures. Sleep soundly knowing your chicks and coop are protected.

🔇 Content & Quiet Chicks
Chicks under this heater are noticeably calmer and quieter than those under heat lamps. The natural warmth from above creates a sense of security that reduces stress and peeping.

📈 Grows With Your Flock
Height-adjustable from 1.5" for day-old chicks to 6" for older, larger birds. One heater serves your flock from hatch to grow-out, accommodating their changing needs.

Key Features & Benefits:

✨ Energy Efficient
Uses a fraction of the electricity of heat lamps. The small heater uses only 15 watts—less than a standard light bulb!

✨ Thermostat Regulated
Built-in thermostat cycles the heater on/off automatically, maintaining optimal temperature while conserving energy. The indicator light shows when it's actively heating.

✨ Adjustable for Mixed Flocks
Raise large fowl and bantams together! Set half the plate lower and half higher—birds will self-select their perfect spot.

✨ Contact Heating Design
Unlike heat lamps that waste energy heating the entire brooder, this plate heats chicks on contact—more efficient and more natural.

How to Use:

Before Chicks Arrive:

1. Plug in heater 1 hour before chicks arrive to allow warm-up time
2. Position heating plate just above where chicks' heads will be (start at 1.5" for day-olds)
3. Add a nightlight so chicks can see to return if they wander

Daily Management:

• Watch chick behavior—if they huddle around edges instead of under the plate, raise it slightly
• Adjust height as chicks grow by pushing corner buttons and moving legs
• Ensure chicks can easily walk under the plate without ducking

Pro Tips:

• Use a nightlight: Helps chicks navigate back to warmth if they wander in darkness
• Position correctly: Plate should be just above heads, not heating entire brooder
• Mixed flock solution: Adjust corners to different heights for different sized birds
• Monitor the light: Indicator cycles on/off—this is normal thermostat operation
