Hey, so I was thinking of a way to keep the baby chicks more quiet in the night while they stay indoors in the brooder, and I was thought perhaps during the night I could try to keep them warm using heat pads under their bedding to heat them rather than just having a heat lamp. I figured a heat pad might provide the correct heat for the birds while allowing it to get dark (and therefore have the birds sleep more). I tried searchign for this online, but heat pads seem to be the thing for incubators. I was curious what you guys thought about this idea of using heat pads to heat chicks instead of heat lamps. If any of you guys have also thought about it and/or tried it, I'd be very happy to hear your input.
