Brooder temps for Standard Size Chicks

[cochinbantam-lover]

Hi all, I am expecting my standard size EEs from MPC hopefully tomorrow or Thurs

. I was wondering if it's ok for the brooder temps to be at 90, I had started with the temps at 95 or a bit higher for my Cochin Bantams cuz of their small size, thoughts about this please!!

Thanks much!

Hello
MPC recommends 95 for standards too then dropping temp 5 degrees each week.
I think I would keep it at 95 unless they act like it is too hot. My chicks liked it 95 that first week. I have 2 golden laced wyandottes, 3 silverlaced wyandottes and a barred rock.
