Hi all,

At what overnight temperature do you not worry about gouldian chicks not going cold overnight once the parents stop brooding and before they get feathers?

I imagine clutch sizes plays an important role in the chicks being able to huddle.

Cheers Ian

Personally I worry with anything less than 10C. However Ive had clutches survive after nights of far lesser temps than that and others I thought would be fine didnt. As you said clutch size must play its part.
