I just got 4 baby chicks from a friend & they have slowly been dying for no reason. They were eating and running around the first day or so & they have food, water, & clean shavings in their brooder. Then we came home sunday to 1 dead, 1 really lethargic & not hardly moving; while the other 2 were ok. That night she passed away in my hands. Then all of a sudden today 1 of the remaining 2 died after seeming fine. Now I an laying on bed using my body heat & heart beat to keep her warm & peaceful. Anyone know what I should do? She won't eat or drink, she just lays there. Please someone help!
 
doesn't sound like they were warm enough. They can't really regulate their body temps when little, which is why they require a heat lamp, which should be set at 95 degrees their first week
