Chick standing after cleaning

Heat source is a red light heat lamp!

Definitely reaching for the heat then. On my first batch of chicks I watched them all standing under the brooder plate, so I lowered it slightly (at an angle) and they stopped having to stand to get warm. Do you know the temp at chick level under the lamp?

Hmmm, I do not know the temp. Is there a way for me to figure that out?

A thermometer under the heat lamp at around chick level (which is basically the floor of the brooder) would work.

I will give this a try in a few hours! Thank you.
