Thank you so much for the info Cathryn. I made a chart so I will know when and what to do. My chicks are growing so fast.

> Paula, Welcome! Glad you joined. your chicks need heat on a schedule under their light: first week 100-95 degrees, 2nd week 90-95 degrees, 3rd week 85-90, 4th week 80-85, and so on down. If you are in a temperate climate like mine where temps took a nose dive this week to 50 and 53, my 8 week-16 week old chicks all have heat lamps at night. I have the older chicks heat lamps on a dawn to dusk timer.Â
