My chix are approx 3 weeks old, i have a heat lamp, was wondering how long am I supposed to keep them under it? Until they get all of their feathers?

Just be aware, the dimmer doesn't cut down on your electricity use! It just disperses some of that wattage through the unit. Definitely easier to regulate temps with it!!!Dimmer switch lol awesome idea. We were 80* yesterday and today low 30*I still have my 3.5wk old chicks on a heat lamp for this reason (they are outside in my garage), our temps have been all over the place.
