I thought they looked pretty comfy, but wanted to be sure it's not too hot in there for them in the small space. (Don't worry, they'll be moving to a bigger bucket this weekend.)
 
I start mine at 95 degrees and make sure they have a place to get away from the heat if they need to. If nothing else - just get a larger cardboard box and let them have the choice of staying under the lamp or moving to cool themselves if needed.

95 out of the hatcher and into the brooder... with a place to cool down, then down 5 degrees per week... but I know you already know that.

See, I tried the 95* method and they kept huddling together. I'm sure it's because of the air-conditioning, but I figured it would be better at this point to keep them comfortable than to go by the rule?
