    Chick and young chicken dying (after cold night)

    The chick (Ghost) won't hardly eat and can barely drink. She can't stand by herself. She won't open her eyes. I'm not sure how to help her. She is in a brooder with a heat lamp but she has to share the heat lamp with the chicken in the box next to her. So it's probably not as warm as it needs to...
