Help! Chicks arriving soon, but so is a cold front

[RoosterML]

Thank you all for your replies. An update on the chicks.
@Rachel Taylor The cold front is currently here. Temps are dropping to 30 and 20mph wind from the north. All chicks are still indoors. We will probably get 3 nights with freezing temperatures and the weather forecast shows by next weekend night temperatures will be up to 47. @azygous I am planning to move them to the outdoor brooder next weekend. Would like to get strong, healthy chicks.

Within the first 48 hours, I had 4 chicks that passed away. I am not sure if this was due to the shipping or if they were already weak/genetics. I am not going to worry to much about it, I have 13 strong chicks left and I am going to focus on them. The chicks that passed away at least had comfortable last moments. I separated them and put them in my laundry room under a heat lamp and on a towel. Gave them the water mix with a little syringe every hour or so. All of them had the same symptoms, laying on their side/tummy and gasping for air. Hart breaking to watch.

@aart I changed the waterer to one that is easier for the chicks.
@RoosterML I will go to TSC this week to buy a second waterer and feeder. They are growing super fast and getting stronger, yes would be worried if they knock over the waterer.

I wouldn't worry about having two feeders but yes I would have two waterers. Looks like a nice setup you got going on over there.

Sorry for your babies... are you doing medicated feed? That may be recommend

They are on chick starter crumbles.
