What method of thermal energy is at work when heat lamps are used to warm up baby chickens?

Primarily thermal radiation — the lamp emits infrared (electromagnetic) radiation that is absorbed by the chicks and their surroundings, warming them. (Some convection of warmed air and conduction where they touch hot surfaces also occur, but the main transfer is radiation.)
