PP614 Heating Plate for Chicks

The Premier 1 Supplies PP614 heating plate (10" x 10") is a 15-watt, energy-efficient, and safe alternative to heat lamps for brooding up to 15 chicks, ducklings, or quail. It mimics a mother hen by providing direct, radiant warmth to the chicks' backs, operating at a safe surface temperature of approximately 125°F. 

Key Features and Benefits
* Safety: Significant reduction in fire risk compared to 250-watt heat lamps.
* Energy Efficiency: Uses only 15 watts per hour (110v), saving electricity.
* Adjustable Design: Features adjustable legs to increase height (1" to 7") as chicks grow.
* Durability: Made with ABS plastic and insulation; easy to clean.
* Natural Warmth: Chicks feel the heat directly on their backs, promoting better feathering and calmer behavior. 

Heating plate advantages over a heat lamp:

Uses much less electricity. Only 15 watts (66 for the larger plate) vs 175 or 250 watts for a heat lamp.
Less risk of fire because of the much lower surface temperature (only 125°).
Field observation: Birds raised under plates appear more calm than those raised under lamps.
The rugged plate cover (optional and sold above) prevents older chicks from perching on top and fouling the unit with droppings. However, the plate can be hand-washed (do not submerge in water) to remove dust and debris.
