Is this too hot for my week old baby chicks?

Are your week-old baby chicks snoozing more than usual? It might be time to check the temperature in their cozy little space! While these fluffy bundles of joy love to bask in warmth, too much heat can lead to tired, lethargic chicks. Ideally, the temperature should start around 95°F (35°C) during the first week and gradually decrease by 5°F each week. If they’re huddled away from the heat source or panting, it could be a sign that things are a bit too toasty. Let’s dive into how to ensure your feathered friends are comfortable, happy, and full of energy, so you can keep them clucking along without any worries!
