7 week question

[crooked stripe]

At what age can I turn off the lamps. It gets into the 30's at night and the 50's during the days. Most of the flock moves away from the lamps during the days. I noticed yesterday one of the hens was laying on the floor of the coop panting. I turned off one of the lamps and things turned back to normal. The temps at 5' are hovering in the lower 80"s. What should I do? John

I don't know when you can turn the light off. My hen was panting so I raised the light up.

What about replacing the bulb with a lower wattage? Or, can you raise it?

do you have a place for them to move out from under the lamp if not you should probably remove one of them thats what i did last year when i started off
