That is shredded paper, and I have them in an outside coop with the heat lamp. It's about 2 ft by 3ft and the lamp points at one end so the can get out from underneath it. Is that ok? When the lamp is on they seem happy.. and is mulch a safe bedding? My neighbor just had a tree trimmed and there is a pile of it.Your chicks are nowhere near 10 weeks old but, it appears in your photos that you still have snow on the ground. Were(are) you brooding them outside since you got them?
Mulch could possibly cause slivers so I'm not sure if I would use it. I use pine shavings. Your chicks should be able to move away from the heat, so your set up sounds good.That is shredded paper, and I have them in an outside coop with the heat lamp.
