No sunlight

Hey there, this is my first time raising chicks. They are about to turn two weeks old and are living in one of my bathtubs. I was hoping to keep them in here for another couple weeks before moving them to a different room, because the bathroom is warmer. They do also have a brooder plate. There's no window in this bathroom though so they aren't getting any natural light. Is that going to be a problem? I have a happy light I could leave on for a while if that would help.

Not a problem. They need enough light to see to eat and drink during the day. They are fine if it is dark at "night" whenever you decide that will be.

Some people keep lights on 24/7 when raising them. Some give them a dark time. They do well either way.

Thanks for the response! That's good to know.
