Should I turn get rid of heat lamp? 3 week olds inside

Thank you! I will let them be...

Good move. Go by what you see more than what you read on here, they will tell you by their actions how they are doing. Yours are telling you that they are quite happy.

I would turn all heat off and see how they do. I'm sure their actions will tell you that they do not need it but you probably need to see that for yourself.

So I’ve been trying to transition these 3 week old chicks off from a heat lamp because I have to share a room with them and it’s kinda hard to sleep with it but also because they are inside and most are almost feathered. It’s summer here and it’s making my room even warmer. My room is at lowest 25c. They seem warm enough but I worry the little polish chicks might get too cold? They aren’t huddling together but their feet aren’t warm. Not super cold either though. But I’m also worried my delaware chick will get too warm.

Would they be ok if it’s already that warm and summer time? I’ve had chicks before but during winter so we kept it on till 5 weeks I believe.

First is from a few days ago and they’ve sprouted since then
Second just before (ignore the mess they are wild and I cleaned and replaced everything less than 12 hours ago )

You can go to the pet store and buy a reptile heat bulb, they come in varying wattages I use the reptile bulbs and I get them in various wattages, so I can reduce the heat as they get older. They don’t give off light they just give off heat.

In the end I believe I kept it another week but after that they were all good without it. They’ve been living outside for a month now and just moved into their new cage yesterday. They just passed 14 weeks. My boy has just started crowing in the morning too
