Usually the heat lamp in a brooder box is used for the first two months. Chicks go into the brooder box within 24 hours of hatch and the temperature on day one is very close to the temperature of the incubator...95F. This temperature is maintained until the chicks are dry and fluffy and then it can be reduced weekly by about 5 degrees until the temperature in the box is ambient to the outside temperature. Ideally about 70F.

∙ 15y agoChicks are removed from the incubator within about 24/36 hours of hatch. The brooder box should be at about 90F for the first few days and a reduction of 5 degrees per week until an ambient temperature is reached with outdoor conditions unless they have been hatched in the middle of winter. Daily temps of 70F and no lower than 50F at night before they are released to the outside chicken coop or cage. If you prefer, go by feather, and only put the birds outside once they are fully feathered at about 12 weeks old.

∙ 14y agoOn day one the chicks need to be under a heat lamp set for the same temperature as the incubator. You may lower that temperature by one degree daily until the temperature reaches the ambient temperature of the barn or chicken coop where they will eventually live. If temperature outside average 75 degrees then you would be looking at approximately 25 days in the brooder. In spring and fall, this would take longer since outside temps would be much lower.

The Chicks only have to stay in the Incubator until they appear bright, aware and active. Make sure they are fluffy and dry before taking them out however. Once the Chicks are out the incubator place them in a safe container/box with a heat lamp.

How long do you keep a light on a baby chick?
Light are used to provide HEAT to chick when being raised without a hen to keep them warm. Week one starting temperature should be 95 degrees about 5 " above bedding. Decrease it 5 degrees per week until the birds are fully feathered and coop temperature is close to outside temp. If chicks huddle directly under light it isn't warm enough and if the try to avoid being under light it is too hot (raise the heat lamp).

It is impossible to say without knowing how long the lamp cord is. It also depends on what furniture is under the lamp: if there is a large coffee table directly under the lamp, for example, the husband is not going to be standing under the lamp!

Do painted turtles like heat?
I have 7 Eastern Painted Turtles and they all LOVE their heat lamp. It is healthy for a turtle to have and enjoy a heat lamp. They need one to regulate their body temperature, help them shed and grow, digest meals, and keep them from developing fungus infections and skin disorders. Also, they just flat out love the feeling. I have one less than a year old Easty, he's only an inch and a half long, that crawls up on to the basking rock everyday and sleeps under the heat lamp for a couple of hours.
