Chicks came, three dead and one with pasting and swaying on her feet

Also, this is a video of her trying to chirp. She dosen't make much sound past a very quiet breathy click. She only does this if I take her sister out of her sight and every once in a while she'll try to cheap like a normal chick.

She might have a swelling that impedes a proper chirping sound. You could brew some tea: thyme, oregano, sage and chamomile with some aniseed and fennel. Let it steep for at least 4 hours.

Do you have a thermometer in there? She seems to be hot by the way she is breathing and holding her wings.

The glass walls all around heat up also and reflect instead of absorbing like for instance a cardboard box would.

Do they have enough space to get away from the warmth to a cooler zone of the terrarium?

You mean give her tea with a dropper?
They have a warm and cool side, I turn the heating pad off during the day and they use the heat lamp. I can check and see if I have a lower whatt bulb and I can move it further away. I'm scared of chilling them.

I mean changing the water for tea.

Do you have a thermometer inside, what is the actual temperature? With a terrarium breeder and heat lamp I would rather worry they might become too hot.

I can try to find a thermometer, I usually just know if they seem good or not but they are in a different room this year. I went ahead and moved the lamp further away and freed up some extra room on the cool side.
So what do I do with the tea? I'm sorry I've never given tea to chickens before.
I have these two chamomile teas... I don't know if they're okay and I'm looking for the other herbs you mentioned, I think they're both caffeine free. Should I give them tea instead of nutridrench or with nutridrench?

 

[darlingdarla]

I went ahead and started brewing the sleepytime tea, with sage oregano and fresh fennel. I'm not giving it to them yet but I figured I'd get it ready in the meantime.

 

[LaFleche]

I would not use any of the two teas as they are flavoured and one even contains valerian which might be rather toxic and you do not want this chick to be sleepy but awake and fit.

Do use only the herbs I mentioned, no flavoured or other mixed teas.

Okay, I don't have straight up chamomile and I don't have aniseed. Using dried herbs is okay right? I only have fresh fennel. I have the herbs brewing now without the sleepy time.

 

[LaFleche]

It does not matter whether they are dried or fresh.

Which of the mentioned herbs ( thyme, oregano, sage and chamomile with some aniseed and fennel ) exactly do you have brewing for them?
