Has anyone got one or used one? How do you find them and what are your comments on them? Am considering purchasing one but want to know more and what other people think first.

Thank you.

I think they're brilliant but did not buy mine, I made them out of a heat mat taped to a wooden board or tray, screwed legs on and hey presto an electric hen at a fraction of the price of a purpose built one.
Cheaper to run than lamps and in my opinion safer.

That's a fantastic idea - where do you get a heat mat from and what size would you recommend?

Yes that is a great idea and I have the same questions as Diane!

Have a visit to www.forttex.co.uk they have heat mats at very good prices and different sizes (Iuse the biggest), they also have other bits and bobs for home made bators, they are very quick and offer a first class service.

I'm really not on commision, its just they are a first class company to deal with.

Thanks for the link. That looks really useful!
