I have 5 new baby chicks 3 Lavender Orpingtons and 2 Black silkies, they are absolutely precious. They are currently in a smaller plastic tub (I read it was okay to use) but I will be upgrading when they get a little bigger( they are 5 days old). Anyways, I have a heat lamp which I got from tractor supply mounted over the tub but I only have it mainly offset to the corner because I am so worried of them getting to hot or too cold. Is there any “safer” alternative to a heat lamp or does anyone have some tips on heat lamps and placement in general? We have adult chickens but have never raised chicks. Thank you!
