Camera Flash?

[BeccaB00]

Well, I agree with the rest, it's not going to hurt your chick, but he

might freak out and go ninja for a moment. Since my brooders are

always really bright from the heat lamp, my camera will focus with

the flash turned off, so I don't have to make my babies spaz....

I think all digital cameras have a way to turn the flash on and off.

Last hatch I had, As SOON as my first chick hatched I had a camera in

his face

With the flash turned ON. It didn't hurt him, he's the average

chicken who can see a worm from across the pen

Y'all are raising some strange chicks that are having such reactions to flash pictures. Are you using strobe flashes?

If any animal gets upset at flash, I try not to do flash photos with them, but most birds/chicks I've photographed had almost no reaction to it. I can understand, though, if it's right in their face, they might not like it.

I took a picture of my chick but then the flash bulb flashed and it seemed really frightened. I'm worried about it's eye sight. Do you guys think it will be okay?
