Tracy - they seem OK to me, though my only basis for comparison is the other 8. They are not running but are active and are scratching around. So far so good.
I'm doing battle with the light. I had it aimed at an angle and it only get's up to around 90. I put it in horizontal (aimed straight down) with the lid half on and it heated up well. I moved it back, temp dropped to 90 & chickes are huddled, not clumped, just huddled. - need more heat.
OK - gave em some more American cheese & the Cornish are running around also.

Mikey, make sure you are giving them chick grit if you are feeding something other than chick mash or crumbles. They need it to break down their food.
