I have ten bantam and silky chicks that range from 2 to 10 days old. Tonight they knocked their water over and all got wet. I'm so nervous about them not being ok.
The lady I bought them from said they'd be fine without heat (which I've now learnt is not correct) so I don't have any proper heating methods in hand (not even a hair dryer). I've changed the wet bedding, have a space heater in the room that's keeping it at 31°C and put a rabbit fur in with them (they are all huddled on it currently) and a sheepskin over the box.
Will this be enough? My anxiety is going through the roof. I could put a second rabbit fur in and try seperate them slightly to avoid piling but also want them warm from huddling

PS. Tomorrow I'm going to go get proper heating
