RentACoop 10x10 Inch Adjustable Heating Plate with Bonus Foldable Anti-Roost Cone for up to 15 Chicks | Small Chick Brooder Heat Plate – Energy-Efficient and Safer Than Heat Lamps

This is the second (brand) heating plate that I've purchased for my chicks. I purchased this based on a review from Nikki of Purely Chickens (IG). I love the anti-roost cone. My chicks seems to love it over the other one, for whatever reason. It is very easy to adjust (they height) too.Oh, I had a question about these and emailed customer service: I was so pleasantly how quickly they replied, how friendly they were and how driven they were to make sure that my concerns were thoroughly answered to my satisfaction.For the customer service alone, I give RentACoop 5 stars. For this particular item (10x20 inch Adjustable Heating Plate) I have it 5 stars. I highly recommend this.

Easy to use. Didn't like the top hat you can put on but just my preference. My chickees loved it and the adjustability is awesome.

Easy to assemble and uses a fraction of the power of a heat lamp. The new chicks enjoy it and crawl under. The pyramid on top keeps the chicks from sitting on top and pooping. Easy to adjust.

I love these heat plates so much better than the lamps. I bought 2 of these. My only suggestion would be to buy a little bigger size than what it says per chick.

Even though the product is great and works really well, I know that things sometimes break during transport. I reached out to customer support and explained my issue in describing the broken part. Instead of sending me the two pieces that were broken. I was only sent one. But regardless, the product works really well and I do recommend it.

The topper is a lifesaver. Without, chicks poop all over the top & it's awful to clean. Super easy to adjust and does the job well!

I really like this plate and the top as it doesn’t get nasty from the chicks climbing on top. The way you adjust the height is super easy to do! This seems to be built well and so far has done a great job keeping my chickies warm!

I don’t like heat lamps. I was constantly afraid of fire hazards and the temperatures were fluctuating all the time with the bulbs. I lost 3 new chicks due to over heating bulbs. Hesitant to spend the money on this but gave it a shot. This was easy to set up, but there’s no way to tell what temperature it is once it is turned on. You have to rely on the chicks to tell you whether or not it’s working correctly. My four day old chicks are in my picture and they are showing that yes it was working correctly because they are quiet and cuddling all up against it. I’d say it would fit about 9 chicks comfortably. I can adjust it pretty easily. It came with a cone on top so they don’t roost and poop all over the top. I hope the plate doesn’t overheat, but all I can do is wait-and-see so far I like it a lot. Edit: I did end up using this in addition to a heat lamp, I had to put my heat lamp back in and use this as well. I think this is a great product, but I don’t think it can be used as a standalone. After 24 hours, I noticed my chicks still needed additional heat around the food source as I was using this in the garage. So I did end up adding the heat lamp back in. I just made additional precautions and the heat lamp is now used as a secondary source. I will say the chick are a lot happier, with the heat plate as the primary source for sleeping
