I have kept the 250 watt bulb, since I could not find a 100 watt yet. Still looking locally in this small town. In the meantime I use a timer. Tried 8pm-8am steady and also alternating every hour on/off. Birds are doing great. You are right, they find their own comfort zone.
Thanks for all...
Hi! First Posting!
We are buying one week old reds tomorrow. It is about 75 during day and 55 at night. How far should we place a 250 red heat lamp from the chics to start? Thanks for your help.
