OK.. I work some crap hours at work. Usually 1pm to 10pm.
I'm so scared that my chicks will roast to death in their brooder.
The weather is warming up, which means that the sunroom I'm keeping the brooder in is going to stay in the 90s during the day WITHOUT the heat lamp.
I checked the temperature earlier and it was 110 degrees underneath the heat lamp, and 93 degrees on the far side of the brooder.
I don't want to leave them alone when I go to work.. I'm scared they'll die.
What do I do?? There's not enough room in the house to bring them in anywhere except the middle of the living room and that is not an option. And I won't put them outside because critters will get them.
How would I provide them a place to keep cool?
