Description

We love the Farmight Chick Brooder Heater Plate for its safety, efficiency, and ability to mimic the warmth and comfort of a mother hen. While it’s pricier than traditional heat lamps, it’s a far safer alternative—eliminating the fire hazards associated with heat lamps. This innovative heater keeps chicks warm, calm, and quiet in the darkness, replicating the nurturing environment beneath a mother hen's wings.


Key Features:

  • Height-Adjustable Design: Accommodates chicks as they grow, starting at 1.5" for tiny fowl and adjustable up to 6" for older or larger birds.
  • Size Options: Choose the right size for your flock:
    • Medium (12" x 16"): Warms up to 20 chicks.
    • Large (18" x 26"): Warms up to 60 chicks.
  • Energy Efficient: Uses minimal energy, with wattage per hour as follows:
    • Medium Heater: 30 watts
    • Large Heater: 60 watts
  • 6-Foot Power Cord: Provides ample reach for easy setup.


Watts per Hour Usage:

  • Medium Heater: 30 watts
  • Large Heater: 60 watts


Usage Tips:

  1. Adjust the Height for Comfort:

    • Unlike traditional heat lamps, this heater warms chicks on direct contact. Adjust the heating plate just above their backs.
    • If chicks huddle around the edges of the plate, raise the height slightly by pushing the corner buttons to extend the legs.
  2. Raise Large and Bantam Fowl Together:

    • Adjust the height on one side lower for bantams and higher on the other for larger fowl. Chicks will naturally choose their preferred spot.
  3. Preheat Before Arrival:

    • Plug in the heater 1 hour before placing chicks underneath to allow it to warm up fully.
  4. Use a Nightlight:

    • Provide a nightlight to help chicks find their way back to the heater in the dark.
  5. Heater Light Cycles:

    • The heater’s light cycles on and off, regulated by an internal thermostat. In colder locations, it will stay on longer, while in warmer environments, it cycles off more frequently.
