Our Brooder Heat Plates are designed to do just that, offering a safer and more reliable alternative to traditional heat lamps. Chicken keepers around the world prefer heat plates for their ability to mimic the warmth of a mother hen, ensuring your chicks stay comfortable and grow healthy.
Why Choose Our Brooder Heat Plates?
- Safety First: Unlike heat lamps, our heat plates significantly reduce the risk of fire, providing peace of mind for you and a safe environment for your chicks.
- Natural Warmth: These plates offer a natural heat source that chicks can move away from if they get too hot, unlike the constant and often overwhelming heat from lamps.
- Energy Efficient: Using less electricity than heat lamps, brooder heat plates are cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
- No Artificial Light: Heat plates do not emit light, allowing chicks to sleep naturally and avoid the disruption caused by the continuous light from heat lamps.
Brooder Plates vs. Heat Lamps
For modern chicken keepers, brooder heat plates such as our Chick Plate are a much better option than heat lamps. Heat lamps can cause fires and interfere with the chicks' natural processes due to constant light and heat. Brooder plates, on the other hand, offer a safer and more natural heat source. Chicks can move away from the heat plate if they become too hot, ensuring they do not overheat and can sleep normally. Additionally, brooder plates use less electricity, making them more efficient.
How to Use a Chick Plate to Heat a Brooder
- Ambient Temperature: Chick plates should be used where the ambient temperature is 10 degrees Celsius or above. It's best to keep your poultry brooder indoors to monitor your chicks closely during their vulnerable early days.
- Setup: Place the Chick Plate in one corner of the brooder and food and water in another. Ensure the brooder size is appropriate for the number and size of the chicks, expanding it as they grow so they are never too far from the heat plate.
- Warming Up: Warm up the heat plate and place the chicks underneath. Adjust the height so the chicks can fit comfortably without touching the plate.
- Monitoring: Keep a close eye on your chicks. If they are huddled together and peeping, they may be too cold; lower the plate. If they are far from the plate or panting, they might be too hot; consider a larger brooder or a cooler spot.
- Adjustments: As chicks grow, adjust the height of the plate to accommodate their size.
- Maintenance: Cover the top of the Chick Plate with contact paper or similar material to prevent it from getting dirty and extend its lifespan.
