Can you show us what you are talking about?
I’m guessing something along these lines
Cozy Coop Chicken Coop Heater, 200-Watt, Safe Radiant Space Heat | eBay
Mount it to the wall with built-in screw mount slots, or hold it aright using the included stand. And you won't find it anywhere else for less. Any more than that, and you may have chicks "crowded out" from the source of the heat.

I have one of those that I incorporated into a "warming hut" for my Redfoot in their outside enclosure, for sunny days in NH that may not maintain optimal temps all day long.
It seems to work well, based on spot checks I've done with a laser thermometer, and/but I still have it run through a thermostat to prevent overheating.

I am not sure which heat panel you are talking about but I use two brands of chicken brooder heat panels in some closed chambers I have setup for baby tortoises. I run them on a thermostat and I have been pretty happy with the results so far.

Hum, and I was Just @ TSC 2 hr's ago, picking up some oyster shell/Coral Calcium for My hen's. I walked right by these....
I use the legs that are included and set the panel right on the substrate. I set it to the low power setting and control it with a thermostat with the sensor mounted to one of the legs.
It doesn’t do much to heat the entire enclosure when used like this but it serves as a heated hide like a miniature night box.
