I don't have a light on them, the brooder cage is inside the main coop, it stays pretty warm in there at night right now.
In fact, I sometimes have to run a fan in there during the daytime, it gets so warm.
They were all checking the place out this morning, they seem pretty happy with the new digs - although I'm sure they'll love it when they get to "come out" into the main coop and run.
If ya want to see my setup check out my page - the main page is the coop I have them in, the new coop page is the one the big chickens are in right now. There's a pic onthe main page of the brooder cage we built in for babies who are too old for my sewing room, yet not old enough for the main flock.
Peace -
Meriah
