Why RoostGlow Outperforms Every Heat Lamp
Precision Temperature Control
Dial in exact warmth from 113°F to 158°F with one twist. No thermometers, no guessing if chicks are too hot or cold.
Adjustable Height & Angle
Raise the plate from 1.5 to 8 inches and tilt it to fit chicks, ducklings, or quail. Stainless steel knobs lock every position securely.
Energy-Efficient Operation
Run on just 15 to 22 watts instead of a 250-watt lamp. That's a fraction of the power draw, so your electric bill stays low all brooding season.
Safe Low-Voltage Design
Skip the fire risk of traditional heat lamps entirely. Our low-voltage plate stays safe to the touch, day and night.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many chicks can the RoostGlow Chicken Brooder accommodate at once?
How many chicks can the RoostGlow Chicken Brooder accommodate at once?
RoostGlow comfortably warms 20 to 25 chicks at a time, depending on their age and breed. As your flock grows, simply raise the plate height to give them more room underneath.
Can I use this brooder for ducklings or other poultry besides chickens?
Can I use this brooder for ducklings or other poultry besides chickens?
Absolutely. RoostGlow's adjustable height and tilt work well for ducklings, quail, and other young poultry, not just chicks. Unlike a heat lamp, the radiant plate won't dry out or singe their down, so ducklings do especially well underneath it.
What temperature should I set as my chicks grow?
What temperature should I set as my chicks grow?
Start near the top of RoostGlow's 113°F to 158°F range for day-old chicks, then dial it down gradually as they feather in. Let their behavior guide you: huddled tight means warmer, avoiding the plate means cooler.
Is the heating plate safe if chicks touch it directly?
