LOL Allen I think in some areas I have a fair knowledge of chickens, but I don't raise chicks enough to know. And too you go to consider the few times my husband and I did raise chicks he never used a lamp.

Hi Melanie,
I'm a nebie, but you make me feel like an expert. Yes, you must put a good sized light on them, but make sure they can get away from it so you don't cook them. I think I've read something about 90 degrees or so, but you best check that on-line. Just google "raising chicks". By the way, I've put on hold at the library some chicken books.
Imagine, usually these poor chicks are sleeping under mom's protective wings and I assume chickens are about our body temp..

Alternately you could buy ear muffs for them.
