So maybe if I pull the light back they will thrive more? I mean the cochins are the only ones that seem to have had the issue. My other chicks seem very happy and healthy!I have chicks outside. Yes outside. Mine are with a broody hen so DO have a heat source.
What I have noticed is that even with a cool breeze they are out from under mama running around. The air temp was less then 65 and there was a pretty strong breeze.
The point is that they really do not need extreme heat and and do thrive with much cooler temps available to them.
