Chicks Benefit From Dim Night Lighting For Winter Rearing
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station researchers advise dim night lights in brooder houses to aid 8 week old chicks. Lighting reduces crowding and chilling, helps feed and water access, and supports rapid growth in groups of 144 to 2,000 birds per heat area. A single 16 or 25 watt bulb can serve 400 to 600 chicks per group.
