Is my brooder box too big for three keets?

Hi! I've just brought home three new keets. They were calm, and even slept some, in the travel box. Now that I've got them in the brooder, they are zooming around like crazy things!

The brooder is 4 x 4 ft, with a heat lamp in the center. Under the lamp, it's 96 F, but it is cooler in the corners. And, so far, all the keets do is run from corner to corner. I'm worried that they will get cold. Should I try to wall off the corners with cardboard? Should they be in a smaller box?

Thanks!

They will sit near the lamp if they are cold. If they are running around, it's a good sign.

I've never had keets before - I thought they would be like little chicks! But they are very different in the way they act. But, they are very cute!

They are still hanging out near the edges of the box, so I raised the lamp up a bit, and will let them be.
