Chick Brooder Heat Plate Cover

Keep chicks where the heat is—not on top of it. The Chick Brooder Heat Plate Cover discourages perching, blocks poop buildup, and makes cleanup fast so your brooder stays sanitary. Pop it on, raise your plate as chicks grow, and skip the daily crust-scrape routine.

Who It’s For

Keepers who want calmer, cleaner brooders; folks upgrading from lamps to plates; and anyone tired of “mystery goo” baked onto their heater.

What’s Included / Specs

• Function: no-perch shield that protects the top of your heat plate

• Finish: smooth, easy-wipe surface that sheds dust and droppings

• Fit: multiple sizes to match common brooder heat plates (see size guide)

• Use: indoor/protected brooders

Size Guide (match to your plate)

• Extra Small: 10" × 10" – for your little fluff balls

• Small: 12" × 12" – for aspiring adventurers

• Medium: 16" × 16" – for growing explorers

• Large: 16" × 24" – for bustling brooder parties

Tip: Choose the cover size that matches your plate’s top surface. If you’re between sizes, use the plate manufacturer’s dimensions and pick the closest match.

How to Use

1. Unplug & cool the plate before installing.

2. Align & seat the cover so it sits flat and doesn’t obstruct the height-adjustment legs.

3. Test stability: nudge the plate—no wiggle, no tilt.

4. Raise the plate as chicks grow; the cover stays put.

Care & Cleaning

Wipe daily with a damp cloth and mild soap; dry before plugging the plate back in. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals. Do not submerge electrical parts—remove the cover first if you plan a deeper clean of the plate.

Safety Notes

This is a cover, not a heater. Use only with a compatible heat plate in a dry, draft-managed brooder. Always provide a warm zone and a cool zone so chicks can self-regulate.
