    I need a qick answer....

    What temp should I have a incubator at to keep hatched chicks comfortable. The plan is to give them to my broody tomorrow. I was going to move the hatched chicks to my Styrofoam incubator for thw night so it doesn't get to crowded in nr360. Should I have it at 99.5? Or should/can it be different.
