I started just watching my chicks behavior as well. I was driving myself insane trying to keep the temp perfect. It varied depending on the time of day because I didn't have a top on it. The temp under the light is 100 degrees and they do like it there, but don't huddle. When I have it down to 90-95 they are in one big blob and refuse to go to the other side of the brooder to eat. They're all doing well (except for the one that starved to death, but she was a lost cause) so I think it's alright.
