Hey, Kiki Been a while
You locate the pen next to a heat-absorbing stone wall intentionally, or was that just a happy coincidence?

The sun doesn't shine there but no I didn't even think about this brick wall.
It's under a covered patio roof.

Driving myself crazy with the temperature thing, so I'm gonna stop until the babies get here and see what they tell me. I'm 91 under the lamp and 78 at the coolest spot. So that's it.

That sounds better than where you started.

Keep an eye out for pasty butts...too hot can cause it.

If this is too hot for them I'll just use the lamp at night. Turned it off when I left work yesterday and the brooder was 71 when I got to work this morning. it's 10 am and the office temp is 75
