Comfort Chick Heating Plate (Brooder) (5 Sizes)
This chick warmer plate gives controllable low-level heat for young chicks. The warmth is from above, so they can move in and out from it as they wish. The height is easily adjustable on the four legs. The temperature-controllable element is totally encased in plastic for safe operation.
The PLATE ONLY option does NOT include the Thermo-controller (regulator). Save money with this option and adjust the temperature by raising/lowering plate instead.
WHY CHOOSE FOR A HEATING PLATE?
A heating plate is a substitute for Mother Nature, where the hen keeps the chicks warm under her feathers. It is a very natural solution with a big advantage: the chicks will harden earlier and also the growth of their feathers will be quicker. Hereby the chicks will be healthier. The lifetime of a heating plate is certainly 10 years and the chance of malfunctions is minimal.
All the advantages of this new product:
- Easy adjustment of height.
- Enhanced insulation (PU).
- Higher plate temperature than the previous model.
- Low energy costs.
- Double security thanks to a temperature fuse and a resistance fuse.
- LED indicator.
- Thermo-controller is only included in certain options.

MATERIALS:
The heating plate is made of plastic, mostly of ABS plastic. This material is very strong and lasting. The height of the legs can be easily adjusted by pushing the yellow clips marked by “PUSH”. In the inner side of the heating plate you will find the polyurethane insulation with a very high insulating factor. On this part the heating is mounted.
VERY LOW ENERGY COSTS:
A heating plate uses less energy than a heating lamp. These savings can reach up to €7.26 a week depending on the model. This way you can gain back the purchase price of the heating plate in 8-20 weeks. A very good investment thus!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Are these heating plates suitable to use when hand raising parrots?
A. I got the following answer from a rep of our supplier "As long as the parrot is able to fit under the warmer, then I would think it would be ok The legs have several high adjustments" However when I asked our resident bird carer at our Sydney Store he did not recommend these heating plates for hand-raising parrots because they allow too much space and the baby bird may move away from the warmth and get cold. He suggested the Poultry Brooder Kits instead (see below)
