I got these chicks from rural king and I want to refrain from using a heat lamp because i heard they can be fire hazard. But I think I'm gonna buy a heatlamp and use the heating pad I already have for a different coop with injured chicks so they don't get stomped on.
This is my 2nd time buying chicks I use a heat pad above them and both times I've owned chicks atleast 1 or 2 get trampled under the heat lamp and there bodies are almost one sided due to being trampled from other chicks and for next time I want to try and prevent this should I try switching...
