The red bulb doesn't keep them up. I like to have a white bulb on during the day, and a red one on at night. Some of our brooders only have the room for the one light, and I'd rather use a red one all the time than a white one all the time.
The white ones stress them a bit more, thus the pecking. I'd rather spend the extra few $ on electricity than compromise our next generation's well being with stress and possible pecking.
