Baby chicks outside at Taos' elevation will definitely need a heat source at this time of year at least a few weeks (6-8 weeks) until they are fledged. It's still winter there. Welcome to BYC @LittleCreek , Taos is one of America's most beautiful areas in my opinion!

Thank you

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Raising your chicks directly in the coop is a great idea but not with a heat lamp. Look up MHP in the articles section and make that instead. Good luck with your new flock.

Thank you very much for your help. I will try to find the MHP article.
