I just got home maybe 10 min ago and put the chicks in their brooder and they're all huddled under the light like this falling asleep. I don't want to lower it anymore cuz it's already close to their heads!
Are they too cold or just warming up from the drive!?
And it looks like the guy that sold them to me gave me two older ones then the day olds. Is this ok? I read not to mix but he didn't tell me!
Thanks
Oh, you can turn it off at night. The light from the heat lamp is all that is necessary for them as they use it for warmth.
I am a first timer too, so don't know much, but have read that by introducing a group of chicks (as opposed to just one), you are less likely to have problems. They'll have their own friends if the others shun them. Unless you have a naughty hen or rooster, they shouldn't hurt them.
