How hot do I keep the brooder for the first week? Sorry about the dumb question:/

I heard for meat bird chicks 85 (maybe cause they are bigger, more dense?)-- and to just to look and see if they huddle under the light (too cold) or disperse away from it (too hot)-- I was also thinking about including a feather duster for them to huddle under, not sure if this would decrease the heat requirement....
