They are 6 days old. Thanks for your advice : )) I was wondering about the temperature swing from 60's and brood plate at night, to heat lamp (high 90's) and plate on during the day when we're around.
Our 6 chicks are in the house in a room that gets down to 64 degrees at night and hovers between 64-68 during the day. Is it good to have the heat lamp on during the day while we're around, and then just use the brooding plate at night? thanks!
