Moon’s first time incubating eggs, and also Hatch-Along!

They are very, very cute chicks! You may want to consider a brooder heat plate as opposed to a heat lamp since you are going to buy something anyway. I have mostly Titan brand but there are many brands and they all work about the same. It mimics the mother hen a bit better than a heat lamp would and tends to be safer.
I have seen on this site that some have made mama heating pads too. If you need something fast and happen to have a heating pad try searching that term here.
I would've bought a brooder plate if it was a little cheaper, but the only option where I checked was 56€ for a 20x30cm brooder plate!

A heating lamp was 7€ which was what I bought(oh yeah I purchased and use the new lamp now btw. Temp is so hard to control but 31-36°C, I will try again to set it to exactly 35°C later when I am home but for now, the chicks will have to endure 32°C :(
When it was morning anyway. Because I don't have auto radiator room temp always change according to weather, it was 10°C this morning but it's now 18°C at noon so room temp should be 23° instead of 20°.

In retrospective, I could've bought brooder plate online. 22-33€ for one brand and even 10€ for a small 20x20 no brand(chinese's maybe?) brooder plate, but I already purchased a lamp and wasn't planning to waste it so...

Heating pads dirty too fast to be considered an option.
I have a heating fan and this lamp. Honestly just gotta hold out for 4 weeks so I trust this is enough. Thanks for the input anyway though!

Although it does look very sad when the newborn chicks search to huddle under the heat 🥲
