question about temperature

[maddy14]

if i kept my baby chicks at about 92 degrees in the first week should i lower it to 85 degrees the second week or should i keep it at 90 degrees, since theyre supposed to be kept at 95 the first week?

I would lower it. I find that most of my chicks prefer 90 over 95 in the first week. If you lower the temp and you find that they are huddled under it then you know they need it warmer. If chicks move far away from the light, they can take it a bit cooler.

Yes, agree with the previous post. Lower the temperature to 85ish.

Bring it down to 90!
Not 85!!!
