The underside of the plate is heated to approximately 125 degrees. This will feel very warm to the human hand, but the chicks will find it comfortable. The chicks go under the plate and touch their backs to it. This is similar to how a mother hen keeps her chicks warm. Uses 15 watts vs 175 or 250 watts for a heat lamp. Allow the plate 1 hour to heat the unit before placing the chicks under it. As the chicks grow, increase height of the plate above the bedding with the adjustable push-button legs. Plate is most effective when chicks can just touch the plate, especially when they are newly hatched. Heating plate is made of ABS plastic and polyurethane insulation. Requires 110 volt outlet. Has 70" cord length. 1 year limited warranty on heating plate.
