You're wonderful Thank you so much!!

Ohhh okay, so should they just have the lamp at night? And they are our first and only chicks. The coop is almost ready, we're going to have an 8x8 storage shed (adding windows and more ventilation) and then a 12x20 (give or take) run. I'm think covering one end with a tarp for shade and rain...
