So my chicks are a little over a week old and it is 92 degrees in the brooder. They are perfectly comfortable...not to hot not to cold. They are spread out not huddled together or trying to get away from the heat lamp. Cackle's care instructions say the heat should be 95-98 degrees for 3-7 day old chicks. But my chicks seem comfortable at 91 degrees. My question is when they are 2 weeks old is that when I make it 5 degrees less? I am so confused...but I'm happy the chicks seem comfortable. How old should the chicks be when it is 85 degrees in the brooder? uhhhhh I'm so confused!!!!!
