The heat lamp was just find. We have only lost 3 birds. One died at day 5 and two others at day 10. I think the three died from trying to sleep near the feeder--they were a bit smaller. So that leaves us with 23. They have been going through about 10 gallons of water a week and about four red cup fulls of food a day. I had to expand the brooder to make room for the guys. I took one side off of the box and added another one.
