they think so, but when I go get the baby chicks it will be kinda warm in there, the baby chicks needs to stay warm. Then you really dont get to go hardly anywhere, always checking up on them. But its all good.

Sparky the chicks like to stay under the heat lamp all the time and huddle together. But when they get really hot they spread out so the heat lamp needs to be shut off.
