Broken heat lamp

[DuckingLost]

So our Frenchie had zoomies and chipped the side of our brooder box and the heat lamp bulb broke. I'm going to replace it. But can't for a few hours. Will they be ok? I've had them with me for about 2 1/2 weeks they do have new feathers and they were about 5 days old when I got them. Which should but them at at least the 3 week mark.

pends on how cold it is .. if its like blizzard conditions they might be in trouble .. otherwise i thibk theyll hold till you get home or whatnot ..

Depends on how cold it is, but a few hours shouldn't be any issue for 3 week olds unless you're talking about going from 90F to subfreezing temps.

They are inside. I always raise my chicks indoors, my living room actually. Yes I'm that person. They seemed to do fine. I replaced their water with lukewarm till we replaced their heat. As soon as they new lamp was in...they were under there quick!

They're fine. Normal indoor temp is a Hawaiian vacation for my chicks.
