We bought 18 one day old Dominick’s. They are now 19 days old. We have alternating temperatures here in Alabama with some nights still getting down into the high 30’s. Our bitty cage is approximately 3’ x 2’ with chicken wire all around and a solid wooden top. We have it in the garage but it still gets quite cool at night. Our heat source is a heat lamp which is secured on the top of the cage. The lamp seems to be keeping them awake. Is there a better place to put the lamp other than over them? Should I worry about how much sleep the baby chicks are getting?
