I got my chicks on Monday and had paper towels down until yesterday. Yesterday I put pine shavings down and ever since then, the chicks seem to either sleep along the edge of the brooder (they seemed to kick the shavings back and lay on the newspapers underneath) or in an area where the light doesn't get to as much. Do you think they are to hot? Also, how should I tell them temperature in the brooder? Do I lay the thermometer down directly under the light or do I hang the thermometer to tell the air temperature? I just don't want them to over heat.
Thanks.
Thanks.
