Chicks

Pair with a GE Red LED Floodlight to reduce pecking.

By adding a Red LED Floodlight* (sold separately) next to your Ceramic Heat Lamp and turning it on during the day, you can help prevent pecking and even help establish your chicks’ circadian rhythms.  

*Works in wet or damp areas.

Red Light
Getting the most out of your Ceramic Heat Lamp:
  • Position the lamp 18 – 24” above the chicks 
  • Ensure the lamp has a direction reflector to help direct the heat in an optimal direction
  • Add more lamps for larger enclosures
Setting the right temperature.

For newborn chicks, the ideal surface temperature is 95 degrees. After week one, the temperature should be decreased by 5 degrees weekly. To lower the temp, simply adjust it at the lighting dimmer switch or raise the position of the heat lamp.

Important tips:
  • Before touching, make sure the power indicator light is off
  • Wait 30 minutes after turning off before handling
  • Can be used in damp indoor enclosures

When using the lamp, if temperatures at or above 85°F are needed, an enclosure is required. In the open air, environment temperatures may not reach 85°F.
