90 to 95 is recommended for the first week. Decreasing by 5 degrees each week after.

Watch your chicks! Cold chicks will be huddling under the light. Hot chicks will try to get as far away from their heat lamp as possible. Comfortable chicks will be moving all around the brooder, in and out of the light.
