I read plenty on here before getting my chicks that during the first week the chicks need temps of 90-95 deg. My chicks seem much more sensitive to the temperature, at around 87 they act like they are much too warm, and I've turned the heat lamp off all-together and waited a bit, when I checked on them (after maybe 20 minutes or so) they seem perfectly comfortable with the brooder much closer to room temp (roughly 78-80) but after everything i've read, that does not seem normal.. Why would that be?
