They won't STOP...........

I would dim light during day, red only for heat at night, and separate if that didn't do it. Also consider reducing temp in the brooder.

Kk. I'm thinking of trying that Bug Light idea, since I don't have a red light in my house right now.

...So the bug light would be a good idea? It's been working okay for you?

It's been in there 24 hours. The only thing is they are eating like pigs now. I heard that low-intensity lights improve feed ratios. Who knows what yellow does

I'm going to go check on them now and watch for 10 min. see if anyone is still picking.

We thought about getting a red sharpie marker over a bulb too. I think that would work if you got one.

 

[Echoes]

Alright. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I watched and they weren't pecking at all, I turned on all the lights in the room, and they seemed to start trying to peck each others beaks for the food on them. But again, it seems like they are eating a ton. Their feed dishes were empty and so was the water. Maybe its the light, maybe they are getting older. Who knows!
