Room temperature for brooder

5 chicks, I have the heat on 75°f should be about that all night, they'll stay in until I get another lamp

I think at 3 weeks they should be able to keep each other warm by huddling together through a night.

Is 75° ok, they are making a sound every 5-10min like a little tune

If they're just softly cheeping at that rate, they're okay. That's just bedtime stories and comfort chatting. If they get cold they'll cheep loud, incessant distress cheeps you won't be able to ignore.

Or would it be ok to put a few hand warmers in baggies and set them around there box while there inside.

How long do those stay warm? Might hold off on those till the wee hours of the morning in case they get really cold and start crying. Set an alarm for 4 or 5 am and check on them. If you don't hear them crying, they're fine, go back to bed.
