Welcome to BYC

and congratulation on your wise choice of getting chicks

250w will be perfect for the first month 2 feet above thier heads and then you can switch it to 125w, usually you can tell if they are very hot they will run away from the heat source.

good luck and always post ???? we are here one big O chicken Family.
