Today my chicks are about a week old! I raised their heat lamp about 8 inches taking it from 90-95 degrees, to 80-85 degrees.
The whole brooder is not in the 80’s, some spots are in the 70’s.
Anyways.. my question is, are they too cold? I caught them all sleeping right under the heat lamp, kind of in a cuddle position.
It gets as cold as 30 degrees here, and during the day it’s about in the 40’s and 50’s.
I am keeping my chicks in the garage.
