Ok. The reason wasn''t using red was because someone told me that they would put out too MUCH heat for the chicks.
I do know it is supposed to reduce the incidence of pecking, and I can see how it would be better at night.
I guess I will try red.
The only ones I can find are 250 watts...
I have some new chicks, some from Estes Hatchery, and two that I hatched myself in my LG.
(There should have been more.)
Anyway, I have them under clear heat lamps, not red.
The woman at the feed store said that clear lamps would hurt their eyes.
I have always used clear, never saw any...
