Mike, how old are your chicks?
Oops, I read back and see they are 3 weeks. By the 5 degrees per week standard they should be under about 80 degree heat. But well tarped to conserve all that body heat makes a difference I'm sure. Just watch them close.
Mine had sparce feathering and were susceptible to the cold. Actually, it seems like it was about time to butcher by the time they didn't need supplemental heat.
