What worked for me was to heat one corner of the brooder up to the recommended temperatures and let the rest of the brooder be a little cooler. They seemed to like the variety. As Uzuri said, they'll tell you if they are too hot or too cold. I find that chicks and chickens of all ages can normally handle temperatures a bit cooler much better than temperatures too warm.

This is good to hear. Our furnace goes out occassionally, just needs a reset switch but we seldon realize it happened until we feel colder, and if we are asleep the ambient temp can drop 10 degrees.
