How do you know if the heat lamp is getting the babies too hot?

Thanks for your quick reply! They don't seem to be trying to get away. After quite some time, I did just see one with his beak open, but the rest are laid out, sleeping, I guess. LOLThey will try and get as far away from the heat source as possible and often open their beaks (this is how chickens cool down)

Great! Thanks! I think they're fine...I'm just being a worry wart. I think they're just finally warm ENOUGH.You are welcome. If its a concern, consider raising your lamp a little and observing them. If they group together, they are too cold but if they run around doing their usual chicken thing, then they are fine.
