Most infrared thermometers aren’t suuuper accurate, and at least my heating pad seems to have warmer spots (probably right where the heating element runs). But my store-bought chicks have never had issues. I set mine up angled so the back is a bit lower and that way they can find the height they want. Still make sure they can escape out the back though - you want “emergency exits” so no one gets trapped behind other chicks and overheats.Ok, great! Mine was at 101 when I checked last, and I assumed that was warm enough. I hope so, because it was on the highest setting.
