Brinsea Ecoglow Safety 600 Brooder Plate for up to 20 Chicks - Energy Efficient 12 Watt Heat Plate for Ducklings and Poultry - Adjustable Low Voltage Design

My Subjective Advice The capacity for this product (20 chicks) should be considered for older chicks not day old chicks. This is fine for (20) 2-3 day-old chicks, but it's a bit small for (20) 2-3 week old chicks. The 35-capacity plate is best for 20 chicks that will grow. This product is better for 8-12 chicks (because they grow!). Day old chicks & ducklings need supplemental heat for about one month before the indoor temp (no lower than 75°F) is likely sufficient enough. Consider growth when buying the product. Review Purchased this for my new batch of chicks. I no longer have broody moms, so I needed something to keep them toasty until they sprout their feathers. It is a great heating plate. Reaches the perfect temperature to keep the chicks warm without burning them or making them too hot. I use a big ole' cardboard box with wheat straw bedding. There is room for the chicks to move about. It's important to ensure the chicks can leave from under the heating plate if they get a bit warm and return when they're cold. The plate is set up in the corner to trap heat on two sides while allowing entry on two sides. My chicks are doing quite well and very happy. I'll probably be buying the 35-chick heating plate soon.

The panel was easy to set up and use. The little chicks loved running in and out of it as well as taking cozy naps. The only drawback is that you have to adjust the temperature under the panel by raising the panel on the legs. This takes the use of a thermometer to figure out whether you have it at the right height once you start trying to establish or decrease the temperature to get the chicks used to cooler temps. You also have to factor in the room temperature as well as it seems to also affect the temperature under the panel. Since this was my first time with the Brinsea brooder, it was a learning experience. A really good thing about it is that in the case of power burps/outages, it automatically starts back up without having to go in and reset a bunch of digital things. We had a storm that caused numerous power burps, but the unit rebooted itself each time and kept the chicks warm. I would recommend this brooder, especially to folks new to the hatching and brooding of chicks. Update: I bought a second unit a few months later. Just as happy with that one as the first one. I like not having to worry about something getting too hot on the chicks. Just remember to adjust the height of the legs to adjust the temperature of what the chicks are experiencing as they get older--the panel heat doesn't adjust. If you see chicks staying outside the unit to sleep, it's time to adjust the panel to be a little higher. You will also need to adjust as they get taller. Always check the temperature they are experiencing with a good thermometer.

The size is great. My 5 ducklings fit nice under it with plenty of room. We will see how well it works after they are 3 weeks old since they grow so fast. But seems like it will be just fine for them. There is no noise from the plate. It definitely works well and the clear cover it comes with is a lifesaver when it comes to cleaning. Putting it together was super easy. I pushed the legs in at first to get it through that new plastic feel. But twisting is super easy. Adjusting the legs while in the brooder is simple. Thinking of purchasing the larger one since I plan on adding to my flock again next year.

I tested this a few days before our chicks arrived to make sure everything is working properly. In this photo the heater was very short, and the thermometer was underneath. At first I couldn’t get it past 86 degrees but the thermometers sensor is on the back, so I flipped it so it was facing the heat plate and the temp was perfect. So if you have an issue where the temp is too low, maybe try that. I love the adjustable legs. My previous producers pride only had 3 height settings so this is huge for me! And the plastic cover will be a game changer for cleaning I’m sure. It is also not too hot to the touch so I’m not worried about my chicks being burned. It is a great size but definitely will not fit 30+ older chicks, I’d say more like 15. So far this is great and worth the price, I will update my rating if anything changes

I used this heater for my flock of 8 chicks, and it performed admirably. It provided consistent warmth, ensuring my chicks stayed healthy throughout the colder months. Pros: • Consistent Heat: The radiant heat kept the coop comfortably warm, especially during chilly nights. • Energy Efficient: At 200 watts, it’s economical to run and safer than traditional heat lamps. • Compact Design: Its slim profile made it easy to install without taking up much space. Considerations: • Capacity: While the product description suggests suitability for up to 20 chicks, I found it most effective for around 10. With my 8 chicks, it maintained optimal warmth, but I would be cautious about relying on it for larger flocks without additional heating sources. Overall, this heater is a solid choice for small to medium-sized flocks. It offers a safe and efficient way to keep your chicks warm and healthy. Ease of installation: Installation was quick and hassle-free. The heater comes with a sturdy stand and optional mounting hardware, so I had it set up in just a few minutes. Whether standing it up or attaching it to the wall, the process was simple and required no special tools. Perfect for first-time users.

cumple lo que dice.

Cuando me llego el eco glow me pareció un poco caro y el plástico pensé que no iba a ser muy util. Pero ahora lo amo y mis pollitos tambien. Ya voy por la cuarta parvada y hasta ahora todo es miel sobre hojuelas. Las ventajas 1. Es facil de graduar la altura e incluso de puede poner a alturas diferentes para hacer al pollito mas cómodo. 2. No emite luz nocturna. 3. Es muy seguro para los pollos no hay superficies que quemen horrible ni circuitos expuestos. 4. No calienta el ambiente el pollito puede acomodarse solo en donde el quiera y alejarse del calor (importante si tienes dias muy calidos al medio dia) 5. El plastico protector transparente hace que la limpieza sea muy facil. Desventajas 1. No es para exterior Una cosa importante que tener en cuenta es; que al tocar la parte de abajo esta realmente caliente.

Great for newly hatched chicks and adjustable height can be raised as they grow. Pricey but worth it. Won't burn or harm chicks in anyway. I've washed mine in the sink many times and it always cleans back to like new. They do like to poop all over it. 5 out of 5 from me.

Le produit est similaire à un jouet, je déconseille fortement! Quand au retour, c'est aux Etats-Unis! J'ai réexpédier l'article le 19/12/2024, nous sommes le 09/01/2024 et je suis toujours sans nouvelles du vendeur et aucun remboursement n'a été effectué! Une HONTE!!!

BOUGHT THIS FOR A WILDLIFE ASSOCIATION.
