In the Brooder
Hi everyone!
I've been doing all my due diligence in researching every little thing for getting my chicks this spring; I'm going to be a new momma!
I decided against a heat lamp and want to use the MHP method. My husband mentioned it to someone at work who also raises chickens and he made mention that the red lamps are necessary for the proper development for their eyes. I tried Googling it with little return; he said the MHP was perfectly fine, but just to add a regular red bulb somewhere near their brooder.
Has anyone else heard of this and is it true?
TIA!
