    Active chicks... not sure about light

    Ok they had a red light for the first two days but I didn't think they were warm enough because they huddled under it a descent amount of time. So we put a white 250 watt (I don't know the wattage on the red but it's what we used last time with our chicks) and they are all super active and...
