I went on vacation ten days ago and these two young chicks were still with their mama then. I just got back today and was shocked to see their mama had already abandoned them. I felt bad for those poor babies trying to snuggle with her but she just pecked them away. They're getting ready to roost and I noticed they're roosting alone. One of the chicks is trying to snuggle under the other one. Not sure if they're cold and I have no idea when this happened.
I read that 3 week old chicks need to be at 75-85 degrees at all times? The coldest it'll get tonight is 55. Should I bring them inside at night until they get old enough?
During the day time they sound really stressed out that they're alone, like they're lost most of the time. I think it might be too late at this point to try and raise them because they're scared of me but should I intervene in some way?
