The Lamp Brooder is a heat lamp-based brooding system that uses an infrared bulb to generate localized warmth for day-old chicks during the first few weeks of life. It is one of the most accessible and widely used brooding methods for small-to-medium scale Nigerian poultry farms due to its low setup cost and simplicity. While electric lamp brooders depend on grid power, they are commonly paired with generators or inverters to ensure continuity. They are easy to position and adjust, making them a flexible option for farmers with varying house sizes and stocking densities.
