Chicks Don't Get the Mama Pad (or, how to deal with a meanie)

[galaga6846]

It's around 100° now. The 3 good girls are quiet under the Mama Pad. The naughty girl is in jail. I think the issue was her all along.

Link or pictures of said literature, please?
I hatched out tiny quail chicks last week. The temp in their brooder, at the hottest spot, was only 85° on their first day of life.
95 degrees is too hot in my opinion.
105 is ridiculous. If you are keeping your chicks at 105° you will most likely kill them.

105° at the surface of the heat pad where their backs touch. In the brooder it's 75°

I feel misunderstood. I hope people read that the brooder is not 105. It's the heating pad where their back's touch the Mama Pad.

Ohh, so the heating pad itself is 105F, not the spot under the brooder. That sounds much more reasonable.
You might want to edit your initial post to specify that it's the pad itself that's 105F, and not the brooder.
Sorry for misunderstanding.

I got it...it's pretty clear.

The temp of the Mama Pad where their backs would touch is 100-105°.

Perfect.

Show us the pad set up?

Hard to get a good pic, but they're all sleeping under it and are being super quiet at the moment

For the moment....but when they wake up the picking continues
