Do you have to use a heat lamp for meat birds??? I usually use heat plates or a heating pad cave (MHP) with all my chicks but I’ve read you can’t really do that with meat birds? Wondering if that’s true or not??? I’m considering getting some meat birds and would really prefer not to use a heat lamp with them if possible but if necessary, I would. Anybody ever tried raising them with a heat plate or heating pad cave??? Thanks in advance for any input or advice or whatever you can give.

I had 5 CX under a mhp, along with 2 BBB and 4 heritage chicks
