Ok, so like a minute ago one of my about month old chicks just started like flipping out and I think he broke his neck. I took him out of the brooder and laid him down, and his mouth was foaming. I think he's dead, but I don't know for sure. What do I do now???? :'(
 
We had a similar situation. HAd about 15 chicks in the brooder and several started flipping around and acting crazy 7 in all. We removed all from the brooder thinking maybe something was wrong with the bedding even though it was new. 4 died and three lived. I think our brooder lamp was too low and they got heat stroke. However the thermometer we had under the lamp never got above 95 deg.
 
Oh, it's sad to hear that. Just to add, the chick did die.
