Hantop Chick Brooder Heating Plate (10" x 10") with Comfort Feathers Set - Warms Up to 15 Chicks - 13 Watts

I have 2 of these and love them! They are a fantastic alternative to heat lamps, and my chicks seem to like it better. Setting it up is super easy, as is adjusting it as your chicks grow. The box includes feathers and tape to attach them around the brooder plate, I assume to make the "faux mommy" seem more real for the babies, but I don't use. I've never had issues with sick chicks from getting too cold, missing feathers on heads/backs from contact with the heated surface, etc. I like that it has a red power light that's visible from the top so I know it's on. The one I bought 3 years ago (that's still going strong with zero issues!) came with an anti-roosting cone, which I wish was still an option. I had to it buy separately on Amazon for this latest one. My only complaint is that Walmart sells these for more than double what Amazon does. I ended up returning here and bought on there, and the difference paid for the cone plus some. Usually the prices are pretty comparable for the same item on both sites, so not sure why this particular one isn't.
