Hello!
Super glad that resources like this exists for raising backyard chicken! I have week old baby chicks and am constantly worried about their temperature. I wake up 2-3 times a night to check their thermometer and it drops down to 80-86 at night and I'm worried I'm negatively affecting their development. They are never huddled or shivering, but am I hurting my chicks, or are they ok to be slightly cooler at night? My pet store said to keep it at 90. :-/
Thanks!
