Ngl I went with a heat lamp over a brooder plate for my first chicks and I'm kinda regretting it
On my first batch of 6 chicks last spring I figured a heat lamp was the way to go since my dad always used one. But man that thing made me so nervous about fire risk and the light disruption. After about 2 weeks I swapped to a brooder plate and honestly the chicks seemed way calmer and slept better. Has anyone else switched and stayed with one or the other?

My buddy tried the lamp first and his garage almost caught fire, so he switched real quick.

Honestly, did your buddy have it on some dry insulation or something? That sounds like a nightmare. Tbh those lamps get scary hot if you don't mount them right. Ngl I'd probably panic and buy a heater too after that.
