Raise it or change to a lower wattage, to make sure they are in heat 90 degrees the first week, and decrease it by 5 every week of age. Always have a cooler area to escape to. Pasty butt can recur for a week or more once it happens, and it can be due to too much heat, dehydration, and shipping stress. Dip its beak to get it drinking fluids and eating some dry and wet feed. I wash the vent with warm soapy water, and dry well with a tissue. A dab of vaseline on the vent may help lube.
