Great news. Enjoy your babies!

I've used a clear most of the time and as long as they are not crowded or too hot, it should be fine.

I got the red one at Walmart about a week ago for $4.95.

Glad to hear your babies are thriving. Mine are all doing well also.

thinking its still to hot in there...it's 105 and i've got the light on a dimmer switch....lights about off ....will this effect the new chicks at all?

Too hot chicks will be panting, spreading their wings for air circulation, and getting as far away from the light as they possibly can. Make sure you have plenty of room for them to get away from the light if it's too hot.

I have a hanging lamp and that way I can just raise it till they aren't all hiding as far away as they can get.
