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).

How long does the mom carry the baby flamingo?
A mother flamingo typically carries her baby, known as a chick, in her beak for about 3 to 5 days after it hatches. During this time, she helps the chick to move to more suitable areas for feeding and provides warmth and protection. After this initial period, the chick begins to walk on its own and join the rest of the flock.

Can you briefly take a chick out from a heat lamp?
Yes. I have done it dozens of times. During the first week I wouldn't keep them out very long just for the chick's well being. They are cold blooded at this point so they aren't able to keep warm on their own. However as the chick ages it will be able to stay out for longer periods. By the time the chick is 3 weeks old it will be warm blooded and able to keep its body temperature up by moving around just as adult chickens do.
