I started off with a 100W bulb when I got my first chick's. Brooder temperature was 95 degree's. The chick's never sleep more then 10 min. up and down all night eating and peeping. Second week used a 60W bulb, temperature at 88 degree's chick's did the same thing. Went and got a red flood light to start the third week, when I turned it on the chick's stopped in there tracks when to the light, went to sleep its been two hours and they have not moved!!! I should have started with the red light

i have only used a red heat lamp bulb. when the brooder gets too warm for the chicks i raise the lamp up so it cools the brooder down by a few degrees.
 
same here i always used the red infared heat bulbs and they are so calm but if i was to turn the light on in the room/garage they are in they just go crazy, but as soon as the red light is back on they are so calm
