Do I turn off the light in the room the chicks will be in at night or for a 1/2 hour a day like in the Storey book?
I will have them in a spare room that has a window. I can leave up the shade and turn on the light in the daytime. I can pull the shade or let them have normal lighting as it happens through the window.
I do have an infrared light bulb as well as regular ones for heat depending on the temperature of the room because it is 80 degrees naturally in there.
My confusion lies with how much normal light they need. Don't they want the light out at night to sleep better?
Thanks, and though I did search, I found the heating light and daylight kept mixing in the posts!!
