Jersey Giant New Chicks Questions

[alixmarie]

Hello! My husband recently got me Jersey Giant chicks! I’m a new chicken mom and would love all the advice one has to offer. I know they eat a lot, in more looking for care tips and how to handle. They are inside right now since we live in the northeast and it’s not warm enough for them outside in a garage or porch. They have a heat lamp and seem really happy and livley so far

Congrats on the new chicks.
I am concerned with the second photo that shows the chicks all off to the side. If they consistently avoid the area below the lamp, it may be to hot and neet to be raised up.
Your broader space looks good and roomy do you have a coop yet? They will be ready to move out when fully feathered.
I love JG's
