Useful for newly hatched and fairly small chicks but they loved it as it provides warmth from above and creates a safe place to hide (just like a broody hen would do). Easy to adjust the height and you just plug it in - Simples! The only negative point is that the chicks loved to jump up on it as well as shelter beneath it & to avoid the heating plate itself getting too dirty I had to cover it with some custom-cut lino, so it would be good if it came with a washable cover. Otherwise this is great & I'd personally recommend it over a overhead heat lamp.

This heater is not suitable for the chicks to actually touch the underside of the heater as suggested, as when I placed my hand on the plate it was too hot for me to keep my hand in place so this could burn the chicks head. I used it with the legs extended so high that the chicks could not touch the underside. Would be interested to hear if anyone else has one that is so hot.

Quick delivery, very good service. Sweets were a very nice extra touch! Checked the brooder works and I’m very happy with the heat it gives off. Looking forward to the chicks arriving to see what they think :)

A must have and easy to use. I would truly recommend it to anyone. Cheers Kenneth

Excellent product. Far more natural than a heat lamp. Our chicks using this lamp are thriving and growing at a healthier rate. They get used to a natural day and night rather than being continually under a bright lamp.
