Posible? but is also tyipical. They like heat but to much is to much as well, I pull the plug on two lamps mid-day & leave the 150w clear light on, the two shutt down are red 250 w but plug them in in early eve again after the shade hits the pen, soon I will pull out the ring and then they can get as far from the lights as they want to stay cool.

Seems like the loss rate always is high in the first day or two, then it tapers off.

Bounce, with all the broken legs you're getting in this batch, I think you got a loanshark in the area.

Maybe jack,lol took out the tin circle this afternoon & shutt down one lamp & found a dead one so 147 and now they have the run of the entire pen & much more habitat, should work better? fingurs X
The day the birds came I put in a baffel board to help keep the birds from flying out as easy as the last batch was able too. It is just a panel about one foot wide and the with of the pen wired to the top of the pen just before the big service door when it is opened, This should keep the bird at a lower flying altitude from the far end of the pen and make escape a bit harder.......maybe?
