I've not brooded a lot, but the times I have brooded I didn't start at 90°. Initially, I tried to get the temps to the recommended, but with my setup I couldn't. In fact the last time I brooded I had 2 chicks at around 78° to start. I placed a piece of fleece in the brooder in case they couldn't get warm enough. They loved the fleece and thrived with the temps provided. It was summer and I got them outside as much as possible. They had their own set up within the run. Integration went rather smoothly.
