    Heat lamp suggestions?

    I’m planning on getting some heat lamps to keep my geese warm this winter, they have mycoplasma so extra heat is now a necessity on frigid nights. Any suggestions on good lamps? What do you use or what would you suggest?

    Heat lamps

    Hello, I'm getting my first two chicks to handraise. I have a 150 watt infrared lamp and I was just wondering if this would be okay for them? I've been told 250 watt but I just wanted to check if 150 watt would do?? Thanks in advance.
