Chicken Heat Lamp

About

We have an extensive collection of Chicken Heat Lamps. Heating or brooding is vital for the first few weeks, during which young chicks cannot generate their own body heat. Heat Lamps are a popular and economical way to keep young chicks, ducks, and other birds warm during this period. They are especially suited for people who already have a cage, coop, or enclosure and would like to add a section where chicks can warm themselves. Lamp Safety: When organising a heat lamp for your poultry, it's essential to consider safety. Some lamps are just bare globes that are hung from the enclosure. If the globe ever comes loose and touches the floor, it can pose a fire hazard. Ideally, it's suggested to get a lamp that includes a wire guard, which can help prevent this by providing a barrier between a hot globe and the chick's enclosure. Also, be sure to get a globe with the correct wattage for your holder. Disclaimer : Always read and follow any instructions included with any heat lamp product. Do not depend on information on this page that may be incomplete or have errors. Heat Lamp Holders: A popular and highly regarded holder is the Heat Lamp Holder for Chickens Aluminium 21cm. Includes an aluminium heat shield and reflector. We prefer this type of holder because it has a guard to keep the heat source away from touching anything. Light Lamp or Heat Lamp: Another consideration is whether you require a lamp that emits only light, only heat, or both. Please note that if you get a heat-only lamp, your chicks may still need a light source if they are located in an area without access to natural sunlight. You will need a second lamp as a light source if that is the case. Alternatively, you can get a lamp that produces both heat and light. Some people use regular light bulbs as heat lamps, but we don't recommend this, as they make too much light relative to the heat they generate.
