Description:
We love safer chick heaters like these, even though they're pricier than traditional heat lamps. Heat lamps cause fires! This baby chick brooder heater keeps the chicks warm, confident, and quiet in the darkness, mimicking being under a mother hen's wings.
Overview:
- 3 size options available
- Chicks are content and quiet under the heater.
- Height-adjustable to accommodate chicks as they grow, from 1.5" for the smallest fowl to 6" for older/bigger birds.
Dimensions:
- Small Heater: 10" x 10", warms up to 15 chicks.
- Medium Heater: 12" x 16", warms up to 20 chicks.
- Large Heater: 18" x 26", warms up to 60 chicks.
- A 6-foot plug-in cord is included with each heater.
Watts per Hour Usage:
- Small Heater: 15 watts
- Medium Heater: 30 watts
- Large Heater: 60 watts
Usage Tips:
- Adjusting the height - Unlike a traditional heat lamp, this heater is not meant to heat an entire brooder but rather to heat chicks on contact. Position the heating plate to be just above their heads. As they grow or show you that the heat is too much for them (by positioning themselves around the edges instead of under the heat plate,) simply increase the height by pushing the corner buttons in and adjust each leg.
- Helps you raise large fowl and bantams together - This design is great for raising both large fowl and bantam birds together because you can set half the heating plate lower and the other half higher. The birds will self-select the best spot for them.
- Before your chicks come home - Plug in the plate 1 hour before placing chicks under it so that it has time to warm up.
- Use a nightlight - We recommend offering the chicks a nightlight when using the heater. If a chick wanders away from the heater during the night, the nightlight will allow them to see to get back under.
- Please note that the heater light cycles on/off. It is regulated by a thermostat inside the heater, so in colder locations it will stay on longer, and in warmer locations, it will stay off longer.

We needed a new play pen. This is the second one I purchased. They last forever. The first one is years old and still in service. You cannot go wrong with the heater either. It easily allows this group of 8 to fit under it. Overall perfect set up.

It’s great to hear that the playpen has been so durable and that your first one is still going strong after years of use. We're also glad the heater is working well for your group of eight—keeping them warm and cozy! Sounds like a perfect setup indeed.

Ordered this to replace the heat lamps I've used for over 14 years. Decided it was time to upgrade to something safer as the heat lamps always made me nervous (despite my quadruple fail-safes). Tested it out, it heated up pretty quickly and the rods were very easy to install. Ordered the medium for 10 chicks to provide ample room, especially as they grow. Fits nicely in the Hen Pen brooder. Very pleased to have this ready for my April chicks.

This chick heater is great. We've had chicks several times and wish I would have got this heater a long time ago. A little pricey but the deluxe kit was worth it.

The chick heater plate is very convenient and the chicks seem to love it. Wish I'd purchased one sooner.

Thank you for your comments, Bill. The Farmight Chick Heater is absolutely a game changer for many flock keepers who previously used heat lamps. As you see, with the plate, the worry of dangerous fires and accidentally light pops is over. With the plate, all you need to do is plug it in and watch the chicks gather under it! We are so glad that you are happy with the plate and hope you use it for many years and many new broods!

Item arrived with a slight dent in the side which I'm hoping isn't a fire hazard. There are zero instructions, so I think it's very easy to set up but that's assuming you don't mind googling the item. We will see how it actually works for our two week old chicks who've outgrown their small brooder. Zero instructions or safety notes for an electronic item was a surprise to us.

I'm using this to brood a large group of mixed age/breed waterfowl on an outdoor porch in 60 degree weather. This is doing a good job of keeping them all warm. I tilted it so the little day old mascovys can snuggle in the back and the older geese and pekins can sit along the front edge. I love the way the feet are done with a spring loaded clips instead of threaded like other brands. It feels well put together and should be easy to clean. They do seem to be weaning themselves off the heat quick by the way they are acting they should stop using it sometime next week once the cold frount moves through. The real test will be when I do bantams next month.
