Install and Adjust Heating/Lighting

What happens here

To maintain optimal temperatures, the brooder needs to be warm, ideally between 85-95 degrees Fahrenheit (29-35 degrees Celsius) directly under the heat source. Chicks must also have enough space to move away from the heat if they get too warm. If chicks huddle together directly under the lamp, the brooder is too cold. If they spread out to the edges, it is too hot. Adjust the lamp's height or wattage accordingly. The presenter removes the heat lamp for demonstration, replacing it with the recommended fluorescent light, and demonstrates how to hang and adjust it using zip ties on an Irwin Quick-Grip clamp secured to a metal bar.

Goal: Provide optimal temperature and light, allowing chicks to self-regulate their warmth
