    Chicks gasping for air??

    My best guess is that they were stressed out. In total I have lost 3 brown leghorns 2 rir 1 buff Orpington 3 white leghorns. So that's 9 total. I have 28 very healthy chicks though!

    Producer's Pride Heat Lamp R-40 250 W Red lasts on average up to 5,000 hours. These reflectors with medium screw bases are perfect for use in brooder lamps. It can be used both indoors and outdoors but cannot have direct contact with the elements.

    Chicks gasping for air??

    They were shipped to us. When we put them in the brooder we dipped each beak into their waterer. We put a 1 to 8 ratio of gatorade in their waterer to give them an extra kick start. There is chick start in there that the healthy chicks are chowing away on.
