Me again.....I got the Heating Plate today. I placed it in the coop, and turned off the heat lamp a few hours ago. The chicks have not gone under it on their own yet.
I put a few under it and they crawled out. Hoping they get used to this....They've had a heat lamp for a week. Will the chicks be ok if they don't use it tonight? Now I may not sleep - worrying they will freeze.. My house is about 68 degrees - basement may be a little cooler.
