do feral chicks need heat lamp?

[darkfox907]

my neighbor caught too chicks that were born in the open and gave them too me, do they still need a heat lamp?

I think there about two to three weeks old and are starting to get wing feathers?

 

[Indigosands]

Yes. Until they are fully feathered they need supplemental heat.

 

[birdsss]

yes. a chick is a chick. it either needs its mother to huddle underneath for warmth or heat provided by you

Wing feathers start immediately so if they only have tips, they are a week old at most.
