Sorry to display my ignorance, but what is an electric hen?

basically a oblong box/tray containing a heater element on adjustable legs used to replace a hen to provide warmth for growing chicks.....they(chicks) cuddle under it to be warm ..........dont look like a hen but keeps the chicks warm and well

I don't know about in France but what about a UK supplier who exports? www.homefarmfowls.co.uk sell them (mine from them) and I'm sure they export. They are made in Holland if that helps at all, brand name is Interbrooder.
