EVERYBODY DOES THINGS DIFFERENT, BUT I SWITCH AT 6 - 8 WEEKS. AT 6 WEEKS I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BROODERS AND PUT THEM IN GROW-OUT PENS AND CHANGE TO GROWER ( FLIGHT ) FEED

I would say no, but putting a bulb in there couldn't hurt anything. Depending on what you are doing with the birds, you may/will need to whine them off of the bulb at some point so they will learn to fend for themselves. I agree with Charlie on the feed switch.
