HELP BABY CHICKS DROPPING LIKE FLIES

[Texanrebel]

Hi. I don't know how much more time I have. We just got some baby chicks and I got home from school and one was dead. Later a second one died and now another one is dying and I'm trying to save it. I have no time to run to a store. It seems like it is gasping for air and it occasionally spasms. It is very weak and can't hold itself up. It was in cedar shavings which I read could cause respiratory problems so I immediately removed it from the shavings. I have given it suger water and it is doing a tad bit better but struggling still. Please respond soon

Could they be to hot ?

I doubt it. They had plenty of room to get away from the heating lamp. It doesn't matter now. The last one just died. We think it may have been the place that we got them from. I guess a lot of chicks turn up dead coming from the rural king we went to.
