I just got 6 assorted new chicks from my local feed store, and I'm not sure if I should put a heat lamp on them at night. I think I read that for the first week, it should be 90 degrees, so I guess I should at night, but leave a place for them to get away from it if it is too hot? They are just a few days old. Easter Eggers, Polish bantams and frizzles.
