Baby chick

[Maryeb]

A neighbor gave us this baby chick. Eyes aren't even open yet! It was in a box w rice, which is stuck to the feathers. I don't know how to take care of such a young one. I don't have a heat lamp so have it covered w a towel. Help!

Can you go buy a heat lamp and chick starter?

I have chick starter. Soaked it in water. Think it is drinking but not sure. Its too late to go to store tonight.

How cold is it there? Do you have non LED lights to put near it to help keep it warm? A heating pad? Even bottles of hot water wrapped in towels?

It doesn't need to eat for the first few days but it must have a certain amount of heat to survive, around 90-95F.
