RentACoop 12×12 Adjustable Heating Plate with Anti-Roost Cone Warms Up to 20 Chicks

Overview

The RentACoop 12×12 adjustable heating plate combines compact radiant warmth with thoughtful extras to support a small starter flock. Paired with the original hard anti-roost cone and removable comfort feathers, this setup warms up to 20 chicks while delivering a tactile, mother hen inspired experience for new arrivals in brooders, indoor pens, or compact rearing spaces.

The radiant heat is designed to encourage natural temperature regulation behavior in chicks as they grow. The comfort feathers provide a soft, familiar touch that mirrors a more natural brooding environment, helping to create a calmer, more engaging startup period for your birds. While warmth alone does not guarantee specific outcomes, many users appreciate the steady, gentle heat that helps chicks settle in quickly.
