Heat Lamp Problems

[Isabella6Storm4]

I have 25 week-old chicks and 2 I wanna say month old silkies in my garage right now. Their Heat Lamp just shorted out and I cant get a new one until next week unless I borrow one from down the road. Days are around 70-75 F right now and nights get anywhere between 40 and 60. How big of a priority is getting a replacement?

It's not a very big priority. If they have each other and they are in a covered shelter they'll be fine

You're welcome! How often do you keep chicks?

about once a year. I've never had this happen before. Its always been with the bulbs and I've always had more of those. I do have more of the metal parts put we have all the meat chicks and they're using them atm.
