I live in FL and currently we are in 90 degree weather and stagnant nights of 80s. Chicks are 4.5 weeks, 98% fully feathered (a few Down spots in their neck and that's it) and seem to be hot with the lamp on, even when it's raised up. They finally stopped panting and seemed more comfortable with the lamp off (I turned it off earlier at 7 and they were sleeping comfortably and quiet up til I turned it back on now at 930pm. They are outdoors on our securely screened in patio/carport area. Should I leave the lamp off since they seem more comfortable or do they absolutely have to have it for the next week and a half?
Just trying to see what more experienced chick raisers have to say!
