When I raised chicks before I used a heat lamp, but my neighbor offered to let me use her comfort chick brooder. When I put a thermometer under it, it seems to run about 90°. Of course the thermometer is on the ground, not near the top, so maybe it is warmer near the top?
So I was worried it wasn’t hot enough, and so in the other side of the chicken corral I turned on the heat lamp. The chicks came out from under the comfort chick brooder and sat under the heat lamp. The thermometer read 100° under there. I wanted to turn it off overnight. Do you think that they will be OK under the comfort chick brooder, newly hatched? anyone have any experience with these types?
