I understantd the principle of how the electric hens work relying on a close priximity to the chicks with them being able to touching it even.
I have just bought one for the chicks we hope to hatch soon and plugged it in today to test it
I was surprised how hot the surface of the plate got to, I was expected hen body type temperatures 40 degrees C etc
Can someone reassure me that it feeling very hot to the touch is normal as mine feels very uncomfortable, the surface is probably around approx 70C is that normal?
Thanks
