K&H Pet Products Thermo-Poultry Brooder Gray/Orange Large 20 X 11.5 X 8 Inches

I've seen a lot of negative reviews for this, but they don't seem to realize that the brooder shouldn't be HOT... it just gets up to the warmth of a mother hen. The chicks sit under it and press their bodies against it, just like with a mother hen. It shouldn't get hot like a heat lamp, and it's not meant to heat their whole enclosure. It's just meant to be a source of gentle heat for the chicks, and it works perfectly for this. I'm raising 6 chicks with mine, indoors. Not sure if it would work as well outside in a shed or barn in cold weather. But for my needs, I love it. My chicks are 2 weeks old now and doing great.

It worked great for our chicks! It kept them warm and happy for many weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] K&H Thermo-Poultry Brooder provides the needed warmth for baby chick hatchlings and is simple to use! This was sent to me for free in exchange for my honest review. It is easy to use just plug it in and set the height setting to where you need it to be and that's it. I love this little thing, don't have any hatchlings yet but ready for some to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to use this! We normally keep our rooster and hens away from eachother during winter so that he isnt able to fertilze hens eggs. Our Rhode Island Red hens provide us with eggs less frequently during our Colorado winters. We are planning to use this in our new chick house we will build. We normally keep all the hens and chick's together so they can keep warm huddled together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! Having had hatched and raised chicks annually I have been looking at trying one of these. I have always used a heating lamp which often burn out and they are very hot. This product stays very warm, you can adjust the height as the chicks grow and they can leave the area if it's too warm. I will be buying these from now on and retiring the heat lamps!

This item does work...and works great BUT..... My chicks keep getting stuck in the elongated holes on the plastic legs on each side of the plate. One was nearly deceased. Thankfully I got to her just in time. I really feel like the designs for the legs need to be different. Now I'll be up checking the babies every hour or so to make sure they are not stuck.

I purchased this for my newly hatched chick's. I plugged it in and the light was on and it started warming uo. I moved the chick's out the incubator after they fluffed to find most of them dead and the others gasping for air. This was horrifying for my children to witness as they were so excited watching them. Ive tried contacting the company and no one has responded yet. This is so saddening and I'm filled with regret and had to explain the whole life and death scenarios with my 6 yr old. That had alreadynamed one of the chicks.

Absolutely terrible, I bought this brooder plate and used it for 1 batch of chickens and it worked fine. I went to use it for the next batch and my baby chicks were screaming up a storm despite having the plate. I felt underneath and the plate had stopped heating during the middle of the night on the 2nd day after hatching. The plate was only 2-months old. The light still turns on when plugged in, but the plate doesn't heat whatsoever. Absolutely piece of junk. If you don't want your chicks to die, don't buy it

Used to brood a gosling. Woke up in the morning to the gosling's head stuck in the long hole on the leg. Wouldn't recommend, not a safe product for animals.

Bought this for our chicks who had gotten their feathers in, moved them to their coop with the heat plate, heat plate did NOT produce heat couldn't even keep water from freezing that was in a shallow dish set on top. My chicks got frost bite due to this poor product. Would NOT recommend. Returned for refund but my chicks were a loss. Would rate as 0 if I could
