What's wrong with my chick?
What's done is done. They have the chicks now, it's no use badgering them over why they ended up getting them. All we can try to do now is make sure they grow up as happily and healthy as possible. Like I suggested above, it's still possible to give them away if the proper care cannot be provided.- flytie

What's wrong with my chick?
In my experience, if they smell, all you have to do is give the brooder a quick clean. That gets a little bit more complicated, though, if your brooder is small. Let's say I have a bathtub of chicks: roughly 5x2. That's a whole lot of space for 6 chicks (which I had). I needed to clean that...- flytie

What's wrong with my chick?

I don't know how much he really knows about them, as you have made it sound like he isn't letting you take care of them properly.

Any chance you could plop a thermometer down? If they're cold, the lamp might need to be lower. Just tryin' to keep those chickies happy- flytie

What's wrong with my chick?
PURELY ADVICE: Hmm... is there any chance you have a bigger box? They look a little squished at the moment! It's good to let the little babies have space to stretch their legs: I keep mine nice and warm in a bathtub (thoroughly disinfected before and after chicks) with a heat lamp on one...- flytie

They're going to grow so out of that box real fast! (If they haven't already!!) It's amazing how quickly they go from being little fluff balls to large, fully feathered chickens- flytie
