I need some help. My nephew bought 6 baby chicks from tractor supply Friday. He had everything set up right with a brooder light and thermometer. Last night when he came home 3 were dead and 2 died shortly after. He has one very lonely chick that I am babysitting today. She is fine if she sees me and would be even more content if I held her. LOL She seems very healthy. I just don't know about adding another chick with her since we don't know what happened to the rest. Any ideas on what to do?
