I have red lights and clear lights specifically specified for heating brooder.
I have 30 jumbo cornish X in the brooder now with 3 lights hanging (2 are clear and 1 is red). The area is 3' x 6' with a 2-1/2 ft divider separating it fom the rest of the brooding house and the adjacent covered pen.
The nights have been cold and, though they already have some feathers, I still see them cuddling together under the "clear" lights. They are not cuddling under the red light. I would like to understand why. All 3 lights hang down the same length.
Does anyone know what the difference is heat-wise in these?
