EASY TO USE: The Brinsea brooder heat plate for chicks is perfect for both beginners and professionals, with a capacity of up to 35 chicks. Simply connect the supplied mains power adaptor, set the easily adjustable legs to the desired height (the wide height adjustment means that chicks can be 'contact brooded' like being under the mother hen) for maximum comfort and the lowest amount of wasted energy.) Place plenty of bedding underneath for the chicks to snuggle up and you are ready to go. ENERGY SAVING: When being used 24/7 its important your new chick brooder is as energy efficient as possible. Compared to a traditional 250W chick heat lamp it uses 90% less energy. This massive reduction in energy use can add up to a big cost saving over the chick rearing period. Using only 12 volt electricity this chick heat pad is perfect for indoor use. The metal heat plate of the Brinsea EcoGlow Safety ensures superior heat transfer and efficiency compared to cheaper, plastic alternatives. CHICK SAFE: The low voltage brooder heat plate warms the chicks directly by contact and also by radiant heat. This combination ensures the maximum heat radiation and evenness of temperature for your new flock of poultry, game, or waterfowl. Unlike traditional heat lamps, the Brinsea chick brooder allows the chicks to avoid the stress of artificial light and get used to the natural light patterns of night and day which improves weight gain and feather growth. COMPACT CHICK HEAT PLATE: Despite only measuring 43.8cm (17.2in) x 28.3cm (11.1) x 6cm (2.3in) (WxDxH) the EcoGlow Safety 1200 Chick Brooder can provide direct and radiant heat for up to 35 chicks. With a water-tight (IPX7) construction it's very easy to clean, this combined with the low voltage operation means the EcoGlow is designed to comply with stringent electrical safety standards.
