Chicks dying help!

I agree, I would raise the lamp.
Are you providing more heat than just the lamp? 84 on the "cool" side is still pretty warm.

What's the mill date on your feed bag - if it's fresh and doesn't smell bad, it's probably o.k. - it's the same feed you've been using for 2 weeks right?
How recently was the bleach added to the well?

Yes I've been using the same bag . The bleach was added about 10 days ago first but over the weekend the neighbors added a new water line so I think he may have bleached it again Saturday when they put it in . I raised the heat lamp so fingers crossed

I might try bottled water for a few days.

See how well they do with reduced heat.
