How long will my baby chicks need the heat lamp - and does it need to be on 24/7?

I don't think my lamp is adjustable (250w bulb and a cover) but I do have them in a tub large enough that they can move away from the heat if they like. My house is generally kept at 70 deg F during the summer.
So I have no problem keeping the lamp on my chicks. I am however curious. Some barnyard chicks are outside from day one. How do they thrive so well if they need to be 95 degrees?
