It's 6pm for me! What?

I'm in Australia!
NSW, to be exact.

Does anyone know what temp I need in the brooder for day old chicks?
Its my first time brooding them myself, and I tried doing a search for it and couldn't seem to find anything on it.
In the moment they seem quite happy under the heat lamp, but I'm stressing its too hot and that they might not realize to come out from under it.

For day old chicks the temp should be 95 degrees fahrenheit, every week lower the temp 5 degrees. Make sure they can be able to escape the heat if they want.

I think its 80 or 90 degrees. I lower or raise it till the are warm.

Thank you, that is what I have got, and they seem pretty happy so hopefully its all good.
Its a lot more stressful than leaving it to the hens!

Not me, although there's so many slugs in the moment that I've been thinking about it.
