Will this be warm enough for 3-5 week old chicks?

You really just want to be mindful of drafts.

Ok. No drafts here. Thanks!

58 sound pretty reasonable, I think they should all be fine if that's the temperature in there.

I read it as it was 58 with the heat sources.

Yes, so did I. If it takes 3 heaters to make it 58, that should be fine until the youngest ones are slightly older. They can probably tolerate less.

Then I was misunderstanding your post.

Yes but today it’s up to 67 in there and there are two Sweeter heaters. They seem to be doing well scooting all around their coop and being crazy.

That's good. As long as they have a warm area and a cool area, all should be fine.

Ok they seem to be doing well out there. Thank you!

The whole area does not need to be heated. Just one spot for the youngest to go warm up occasionally. Hens can brood chicks just fine in the winter. 3 week old chicks spend very little time under their mother.
