Keep them at 95 at night drop 5 degree in the next week, Mine go outside in Tn during the 3rd week no lamp..
 
I can't drop the temp when the temp outside is higher than the coop I have them in. But, I did notice they just move away from the lamp when they are hot and and move back when they want to warm up. Sweet smart little chickies! They are so much fun to watch.
 
In that case if it is staying above the 95 day and night you should not need the heat lamp, Yes they will move away from the heat.. They Can get addictive...

I left this off earlier,
