Hi all. I have 7, 7 day old chicks today. Unfortunately, we are going through a heat wave that doesn’t look to be letting up soon. They are in a brooder in the garage (metal livestock waterer). The garage is staying at a consistent 88 degrees so I turned off the heat the past day as they seemed to be staying away from it. They are running around and having a ball eating, drinking, pooping. They cluster together sometimes to sleep. I checked with a heat gun and the temperature where they lay together is 90-92. My question is will garage become to hot for them as they mature? Will I need to make plans to relocate them to inside the house? I’m more worried about them becoming to hot. They haven’t shown any behavior to indicate they are to hot thus far. Just content little peeps.
