Helpful but one sentence says they no longer need the lamp at 3-4 weeks and the next sentence says 6-8 weeks?
Make sure you use a thermometer under your heat source so you are SURE you don't over heat chicks.

Yep, already mentioned: "... use a thermometer to monitor the temperature in the brooder. You may need to adjust the height of the lamp to maintain the correct temperature. The closer the lamp is to the chicks, the warmer they will be, and vice versa."
