Month Old Chicks Without A Heat Lamp?

[lmadeline146]

The weather today was 85 degrees and i turned the heat lamp off for the chicks since I noticed a few were breathing with their mouths open. They’re exactly a month old today and majority are almost fully feathered. Would it be okay to keep the heat lamp off all night? The lowest temp will be 66F.

I’m new to this but I personally think they’d be fine. Mine were ok at that age for same nighttime temps.

Okay thank you.

Assuming they're all in good health and normal feathered they should be fine completely off heat at this point, with those temperatures.

I think your chicks have already given you their opinion on the matter and they're telling you they're ready to be off heat. If they get cold, they'll let you know, don't worry. I'd listen to the birds in question first and foremost in regards to being hot or cold, do that and you won't go wrong
