Hi! My baby chicks (first time chicken mother) are 6 days old. I've read that we should keep them at about 95 degrees, but this just seems way too hot for them (they cluster on the far side of the brooder). I keep raising the lamp, and now they're at 85 degrees, but they still avoid the heat lamp. has anybody else run into this? otherwise, they seem happy and healthy.
