HELP: Weaker baby- don’t know what to do

[afieldssnowyegger]

We have three two-day old chicks, and one seems to need more attention. She sleeps a lot more than the others, and begs to be cuddled. We’ve been wrapping her in a towel, holding her in our hands, where she falls asleep. When we try to put her back into the brooder, she refuses to leave our hands, and she chirps until we pick her up again. She is eating and drinking regularly, but does not exercise much with the other chicks. We built a mini-brooder area (see the picture) and want to hold her inside of it reaching inside to keep her warm with our hands. Is this okay? Is my body heat enough to keep her warm? I’m just nervous that she is going to be picked on, as she is the smallest and weakest chick. Please advise!!!

Do you have a heating pad or some type of heat source in the box for the chicks?
Likely she is cold - aim for 90F on one side of the brooder.
Can you get a larger box for them?

Where are you located in the world?
What are you feeding the chicks?
