feemcg Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have a ceramic dull emitter bulb which gives off heat, no light so the chicks get natural day and night time. I've heard that chicks under a bright light 24 hours a day can get agitated and start feather-pecking. Is it an ordinary bulb or infrared you're using?

I've got a heat pad now from the Agricultural store. Which is good, expensive though. I haven't noticed any feather pecking but i'll watch out for it. Where was the cereamic one from? xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy&cake Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'll have to post todays , tomorrow. Ross has left the camera at work, No change really, all in the broder, and happy, sem to be getting more lively now. I wonder if you can put small perches in the brooder? They are beautiful, i already have my favourite, the smallest one, whos a bantam and she /he is the yellow-ist aswell. They are so lovely, i could hold them all day, i got one out of the brooder for a minute today, the eldest one, and it chirped at me and pecked my finger.

superjules Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Chicks shouldn't perch - it distorts their breastbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 We are a keen audience... patiently waiting to see how they're doing... Can we have a word with Ross about how crucial it is right now to leave the camera right by the little fluff balls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
