Our house gets fairly cold at night, not exactly how cold, but the temp in the brooder was 87* when I got up at 8:00 AM and the light (100 W standard) very low in the box. It is 10:15 AM now and the temp has finally reached 97*. I have the lamp sitting on top of the chicken wire instead of in the box.
Should I trade out the 100 W standard white for the 250 W red brooder at night time?? Then I am afraid it would get to hot. I watched the heat last night before going to bed around 11:00 and the temp was holding steady at 95*.
Sometimes I think it is easier hatching.
