How long do chicks have to be under a heat lamp?

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.

What approach should i take to get close to a bartender who is constatly hit on?

This is tough because how sincere could he be when all these chicks are hitting on him. Do you know anything about him outside of work. Does he date the chicks that hit on him for one night stands, does he have any other interests that would attract you to him. Maybe because so many chicks are hitting on him is the attraction for you, to conquer the wanted. I would seriously get to know more about him and verify it before getting involved, you may get more then you bargained for, including a disease......

No, after 3 weeks the chicks should have enough feathering to do a continual drop in brooder temperature. If ambient (outside) temperatures are above 60F then it is fine to reduce heat. Rule of thumb is small drops in brooder temperature daily until the chicks get used to the cooler temperatures.
