I do I keep the little buggers from knocking my thermometer probe out from under the lamp? or do I? lolI always go by how they're acting rather than what thermometers say. A warm side and a cool side are important so that they can regulate their temperatures whether they need to cool off or warm up. So yes, I would lower is a bit if they're huddling under it just watch for panting, holding wings away from their bodies, or staying away from the heat source, that would all mean it's too warm. You're goal is to see them snuggling under the warmth and spreading out to eat and drink. The first couple days you probably will see them sleeping more though and that's normal for newly hatched chicks.
