By the end of second week, chicks will need less heat. You can utilize the upper holes to raise up the heating pad, and also you can spread out the sides for a wider opening to the cave.
Slip dowels though holes. Holes should be much smaller than dowels so they fit snugly without slipping. Lay heating pad over dowels. i cut a slit in back for the plug to slip through. This is the position for maximum heat for the first week.
Cut a rectangle out of pad 45" long x 9" wide Score rectangle at 16 in from each end so middle panel is 13" wide. Don't cut all the way through., just enough so foam will bend and make 90 degree angles Drill or poke 1/8" holes : holes 4" & 8" up from bottom and 4" & 6" up from bottom and 4" up from bottom on each end panel.
