How long do we need to leave the heat lamp on? Most of our 12 chicks are about 7 weeks old and it's getting down to about 35 at night. Do we switch it out for a regular light bulb?
Thanks, BeckyC.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan 
If they are fully feathered and in a protected coop, they should no longer need heat unless it gets much colder than they are used to.

Hello and welcome from Ohio...glad you joined us
Hi and 
from Ohio. So glad you joined. At 7 weeks old, you should still use the heat lamp if it goes below 50-60 degrees.
