Chicks have a high heat requirement after hatching and warm themselves under the feathers of the mother hen. The heat accumulates under the feathers, and the chicks enjoy the cozy temperature. The CosyHeat heating plate works on this principle. The chicks can nestle under the plate and rest in the snug warmth beneath it. They can snuggle directly against the plate. Additionally, the plate radiates heat downwards, creating a warm cushion. With the help of a rotary controller on the plate, the temperature can be easily and continuously adjusted to meet the chicks' heat needs. An integrated thermostat ensures a constant temperature under the plate. It heats up until the required temperature is reached and maintains it. Since the heating plate does not heat continuously, it is more energy-efficient than conventional heat emitters. The height-adjustable legs allow the heating plate to be easily adapted to the size of the chicks. Other advantages include: temperature adjustment via integrated rotary controller; insulation for targeted heat distribution downwards; energy-saving and more efficient than conventional heat emitters; safe 24V operation; with power supply for connection to a 230V power source.
