This is great Information! Thank you for taking the time to share your story! I would love to try this. I just got chicks from tractor supply, I didn’t get them from day 1, so I wonder if it would be ok to go ahead and start this method now? It’s mid summer here, I live in Pennsylvania. The heat wave just past and the temps are getting better with a high of 81 and a low of 66. Thank you again and hope to hear back.

You don't say how old the chicks are now. Chicks not started out on the heating pad method may not learn to go under it if they've already gotten used to a heat lamp as a heat source. The integration method can be used on any age chicks up to around 8weeks.
