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.

How long do you keep baby chicks in the incubator after they hatch?
Usually 24 hours but it is always best to leave them all together until all the chicks have hatched. The chicks need time to dry and fluff up. When they first emerge from the shell they are wet and weak, subject to cold temperature drops. You need not worry about food and water for 36 hours since they still have some reserves from the yolk they developed from. When moving them from the incubator to the brooder box, make sure the temperature is close to the temperature of the incubator, in the high 90's directly under the lamp. There should also be room in the brooder box for them to get out of the heat is they wish.
