Chick Brooder Heat Plate

Skip the drama of heat lamps. This brooder heat plate warms from underneath—like a hen—so chicks tuck in, chill out, and grow with fewer singed feathers and midnight panics. The surface runs about 125°F at contact, giving steady comfort without blasting the whole brooder. Who It’s For Keepers who want calm, evenly warmed chicks, lower fire risk, and an electric bill that doesn’t cluck back. Ideal for bedrooms, basements, garages, and any indoor brooder that needs reliable, localized heat.
