I agree, looks like an LED light bulb and if you have a fan going, they are too cool.I wasn't able to count how many there were but initially, there were 200 and then a lot of them started dying.
started off with 200, now less-I’m sorry, am I reading correctly that you have 200 chicks in a 9x3 brooder? That sounds WAY overcrowded! Please, someone correct me if I’m wrong, but chicks should have at least 1/2 sqft each in the brooder, so you’d need at LEAST a 100 sqft brooder (10’x10’ minimum). 9x3 is only enough room for about 54 chicks, AND you said part of that brooder is also sectioned off for silkies, so there is even less space for the chicks? PLUS they grow very fast, that even that as bare minimum won’t be enough space for very long. Being overcrowded can certainly cause high stress levels and increases the likelihood of disease and death.
