F
Awesome
Pros: Much safer than heat lamps and cheaper than Brinsea ones.
Cons: None.
Great for when you can't have a hen with them or its your first chickens. The plastic cover is great, they can't get on top of it period. Recommend this over a Brinsea one. You can make two legs higher than the others if you have different sized chicks. Great.

Pros: less expensive and safer than heat lamps
Cons: You can't see the little cuties because they hide under it! :)
I think this is a great item. Chicks in a natural setting under a broody are able to choose when to get out of the heat so this idea made complete sense to me.

I ordered the clear plastic top with mine so the chicks can't jump on top of it and poop.

Pros: easy to set up, birds seem to love it,easy to clean
Cons: none
I love the heating plate and making plans to buy another one. I have used quail to turkeys and have never lost any birds from been cold. It's safe to use no fears of fire like the heat lamp. the only thing better is a real hen

I have used these for several years now. I have them in small, med, and large and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
1. No danger of fire or a bulb burning out and getting the chicks cold.
2. Easily adjustable as the chicks grow
3. Gives the chicks a day/night cycle and mine seem to be better off from that.
4. Very sturdy and well made. Takes lots of abuse.
