I agree. We live in southern Iowa and I have had chicks outside that are 2 days old. Heat lamp the first 2 days and nights and then heat only at night for a couple of days. They all cuddle together at night to stay warm. They are fine. Even the little tiny Silkie chicks. You can leave the heat on them too long also and stunt there growth. I've seen that happen before.
