Nope. Still can’t get the temperature up high enough at night.

If you can get the temperature up to the desired point at the bedding level under the heat lamps, that iis all that is needed. The whole area does not need to be heated. They will do better by having warm and cool zones they can freely move around through.

I have the thermometer under the heat lamps.

I have the thermometer under the heat lamps.

The temperature right at the bedding level is what matters.

Make a cardboard "surround" so that the heat stays in the area under the heat lamps... Not too high , but it will stop the cold from coming in from the sides and keep the heat that is directed down by the lights... They do it all the time in the big poultry houses... like a corral.... and use it at night...
