Heat lamp or no lamp for silkies

[Hanaleiloveschickens]

I have two hen silkies and I don't know what they were thinking but they hatched two chicks one under each hen. I don't know if I should put a heat lamp with them or not. Will the chicks stay warm?

 

[AlleysChicks]

Under the moms yes. They will run back under when they get cold to warm up.

No heat lamp. You will only over heat the moms.

Mama's will take care of them, no heat lamp needed
