Abstract
The present investigation was done to study the effect of different colored light environments on some behavioral patterns, physiological aspects and performance. Thus, 64 one day old chicks were divided randomly to four groups exposed to different colored light environments (yellow, red, blue and white). The results revealed that:

The red, blue and white colored environments were the suitable media for the proper performance during the first 3 weeks of the rearing period, respectively.
The yellow color environment was the most comfortable medium during the last four weeks of the rearing period of chickens that reflected positively on the ethology, physiology and performance of the birds.
