Help! I have a one month old chick who accidentally got slammed in my room door

He needs a real heat source. Do you have a heat lamp or a brooder plate he can use? Even a heating blanket would work. He needs real heat of rat least 6 weeks. Cold chicks are more likely to get pasty butt. Have you checked him for pasty butt too? Just to be safe.
 
Hot water bath? I am not that experienced with brooding chicks but I don't think you should be doing that. I would worry he would get chilled!
BAG NOT BATH!

Okay i'll do that
 
Agreed! That is terrible! What do they do, dunk them in a bucket of die? :eek:

no, not likely. As you can see it is on the fluff, and as fluff falls off, feathers are normal color. When I looked into this, the dye is injected into the egg in a certain spot, at a certain later stage of growth. It is harmless, just not in favor in the US, so seems odd here. It isn’t animal cruelty.
