Chicken Heat Plates for Brooders
Looking for a safer alternative to a heat lamp? A chicken heat plate offers a natural, energy-efficient way to keep your chicks warm and thriving.
The Dine-A-Chook Chicken Heat Plate is trusted by poultry keepers across Australia. Designed to mimic the warmth of a mother hen, our brooder heat plates help chicks grow strong—without the dangers of a traditional lamp.
Why Choose Our Chicken Heat Plates?
- Fire-Safe Design: No exposed bulbs or open heat sources. Chicken heat plates are the safest option for your brooder.
- Natural Warmth: Mimics a hen’s body heat. Chicks self-regulate by moving toward or away from the plate.
- Low Power Use: More energy-efficient than a 250W lamp. Save on your electricity bill without compromising warmth.
- No Harsh Light: Promotes natural sleep cycles for healthier, calmer chicks.
Chicken Heat Plates vs. Heat Lamps
Traditional heat lamps can cause fires and disrupt your chicks' sleep with constant light. A chicken brooder heat plate provides safe radiant warmth, low power consumption, and better animal welfare.
More and more chicken keepers are choosing heat plates over lamps—and with good reason.
How to Use a Chicken Heat Plate
- Setup: Place the heat plate in one corner of the brooder, with food and water on the opposite side.
- Warm-Up: Plug in and allow to heat. Position low enough for chicks to rest underneath.
- Monitor: Adjust height as chicks grow. Watch behaviour: huddled = too cold, panting = too hot.
- Maintain: Cover the top of the plate to keep it clean and extend lifespan.
