Rule of thumb, "Quiet chicks are happy chicks." If they were cold they would cheep loudly. If they are too hot they will be sprawled out and panting. If they are just happily softly cheeping you have their environment just right.
They are just hanging out. Except for piglet who is hanging out and eating.
No panting and no yelling. I guess all is good.
 
The office/feedroom is at 17C no where near 73F, and they are also 9 days old. They are out hopping around the bin practicing flying running along a branch I have in there and they roost on top of the brooder.

I had them outside in the sun and it was only around 4C, they were happy to dust bathe and sun themselves, then when they started hanging out in their little box I carry them back and forth in, I knew they were getting cold and tired. About 30 min or so. I put them back in their bin.
I think mine need to move into the Chicken Palace soon.
Maybe some day trips first.
