Chick not walking to well

I stopped using the Heat Lamps, they get hot. Use a regular 100 watt bulb, it should keep it warm enough, also make sure they have room to move away from the heat if they get too hot.

Okay I am going to see if I have a 100 watt bulb anywhere in my house, I think I have one of those twirly ones in a 100 W, if not then I will run down to Dollar General and pick up a pack.

I read something about the red helps them calm down, what about that???

Our dog is going a little stir crazy because she wants so bad to see what is going on, so I want to try to keep them pretty calm.

If by Twirly you mean Flourescent, they will not generate enough heat. The standard incandescent bulbs will.

Okay, yeah that is what I meant, but I don't even have one of those that is enough Watts. I think I have a 100 W upstairs in an old lamp. If not, I bet my mom has a few, she hates anything less than 100 Watts.

the twirly ones are not hot enough, need a regular bulb... then you can put a sheet on top of half the wire in case it gets too cold, but not covering the whole thing.

The only 100 W I found was a 3 way. My mom has a few so she is bringing me one.
