Hi how are your chicks this morning? They'll prob huddle together & chirp if they're cold - perhaps a warm (not hot) covered hot water bottle might help until you get your lamp sorted out? Then they can move to/away from it as they need. Good luck

Even one of the old type light bulbs low over their pen (but not so they can burn themselves) will give off some heat - better than nothing. Good idea to try the hot water bottle wrapped in a towel. Maybe if you can get a little top and bottom heat this could see you through :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

I have used the old style bulbs, but not over 60w, it does work well and keeps em warm, if you can find them the bulbs for the light effect on electric fires work as well (and arent so bright)
It's all about the journey, not the destination
