⚠️URGENT! I think my chick is dying!

[Kiki]

The legs of the chicks are fine but I will look for newspaper, magazines or old school papers I have, thank you!

No that is worse.

No newspaper or magazines.

PAPER TOWELS or DIRT.

I watched your video.

Becareful with the big bowls of water. The ground looked very wet in one video.
Also the hen that you have the chicks with...might be a problem.
Looks like she wasn't too sure about them and I am wondering if she may have pecked this one a little too hard.

If it's laying around they are eating it.

The food actually got picked up and put in a bowl, so that they don't get it. The bowl got transfered to the older chicken's pen since one of them is picky and I have to sort out the corn pieces on one side. The older ones don't live with the little ones.

They do have a heat lamp! They also have water and chicken feed but those big corn chunks belong to the older chickens, so don't worry they aren't earings that.

I will make sure not to put those in then, when you say paper towels do you mean the brown ones or the white ones. Also for the dirt would it be okay if I covered the cardboard with dirt so that the dirt is ontop?

I was thinking kitchen napkins/paper towels....but dirt is good.
Yes you can cover the flooring of the whole box with an inch or two of dirt.

The video was takened on the first day, I wanted to see if she would accept them but that same day she didn't give them any attention after an hour. I sat inside with them watching so that she would not peck them incase she did ( she did not). The water bowl belonged to the adult chickens not the little ones, the little ones have a tiny bowl in their seperate pen which is safe for them to drink from.
