Help, is temp okay?

[Whitney13]

My 3.5 week old chicks don't have a heat lamp for the night and it will be between 70-75*F. Is this okay for one night?

They are pretty old so they should survive one night.. Maybe try and put a heater on in the room or something..?

My chicks who will be four weeks old tomorrow live in an outside brooder full-time, with no heat lamp. They have for a little over a week, and they're doing beautifully. It is in the mid to high 90's here during the day, and down in the 60's at night. Everyone is growing well and doing great!

We did not even use a heat lamp until they went outside in their coop at 5 weeks old... Since the day I brought them home i used light bulbs... I think we started with a total of 140 watts... (1- 100w and 1- 40w bulb), and dropped down to two 60watts for 120w, the next week,, and kept dropping until we reached 70 degrees,, I think it took about 5 or 6 weeks. Then they went out into a very good size coop,, Thats we when we added a heat lamp at night for about a week..now they have no lights and they seem to have adjusted very well...
Just remember, God took care of them "all natural" long ago.... So I am sure your babies are going to make out just fine!
Good Luck and have fun..
