Coop Heater for Chicks and Adult Chickens, Energy-Efficient Radiant Warmth in Four Sizes and Two Mount Styles

Give chicks or adult chickens focused radiant warmth in the brooder or coop without relying on a bright 250-watt infrared bulb. Available in four sizes and overhead or side-mount versions, this heater lets you match the setup to your flock and space.

The heating surface stays below 185°F and uses 32 to 150 watts according to size. This reduces fire hazard and energy use compared with a traditional 250-watt heat bulb, while birds can position themselves nearer to or farther from the radiant surface as needed.

Key Features

• Gentle radiant heat warms birds and other solid objects directly rather than trying to heat a large volume of air, making placement near the flock important.
• A heating surface below 185°F offers a safer brooder and coop alternative to traditional heat bulbs that can exceed 430°F.
• Four power levels, from 32 to 150 watts, let pet parents choose capacity for smaller groups of chicks or flocks of up to 80–85 chicks under specified conditions.
• Overhead and side-mount choices accommodate different brooder and coop layouts; the side-mount version installs flush to a wall or ceiling.
• The sealed plastic top can be sprayed and wiped clean, making routine cleanup after hens perch on the overhead unit more manageable.
• USA design, sourcing and assembly are backed by a three-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Before introducing chicks, run the heater for a few hours so the faint new-plastic smell can dissipate. Begin around six inches above the ground, then watch the chicks: raise it if they avoid the warmth, or lower it if they huddle beneath it and chirp loudly.
