Temp at 95?

[Huntmaster]

Thank you we’ve been struggling with temperatures keeping at 95

Are there large temperature swings where the brooder is. Or is it consistent where it's at now?

They are only a day old and everyone is telling me different things which is why I came here

Depending on the distance of the red light above….we have it ranging from 93-97 and a shaded spot it is around 83 right now

I'm assuming brooder is inside with consistent temps?

I kept reading after the 100 degree incubator and they dry to put them in the brooder at 95 for the first week and cut it down 5 degrees per week… I’m new to this and just need y’all’s advice

Yes this is best rule of thumb, 95 is tops needed and some say that is high. A constant 95 is good but especially running that high they need that much cooler area also. Are they shipped, local hatched?

Optimal temperature can vary. Mine found 95 too hot after hatching and I lowered my wattage and they were happier with 90. They are now 10 days old and in a much bigger brooder and they are happy with 85 in the warm spot and 75 the rest of the area. Just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't show signs of being too hot.

hatched in my house and I took extra care for temp and humidity

All 6 are up now jumping around @93 so tomorrow I might let 93 go down
