Help with week old Cockerel BR killing egg mates.

[chickens really]

I'm thinking possibly the Brooder is too warm and definitely something isn't right in its behaviour.

Tonight my husband can help me move it to a even more shade spot.

In those temps, might it be better to bring them in house then supplement a difference with a heat source if needed? Assuming your house is cooler.

Are you humid or dry heat?

He doesn't sound right...

Yeah, I've been worried about it and even my black cat is staying where the fans are blowing. I've got the fans in the adult coops going as well as every window we made in it open. The adult chickens are spending more time where the fans are then outside.

We have a strong wind blowing so I'm hoping it helps for the little ones. I've got 2 bowls in their brooder right now. One with the Nutri drench and one plain water. I've been keeping a close eye on all the outside animals due to the heat.

I would be shocked if the hurt chick makes it but I'm going to do everything I can to try and help.

Sounds like a good plan.
Keep us posted on the little one

We're near the ocean so it's a humid heat. We get very good winds which cool down most of the yard where the shade is.

We keep the house around 75f but it can be far too cold on little chicks. I'm hoping we get a storm soon to break the heat a bit.

If the chicks are really suffering, I'd bring them in and give a heat source.
I presume that littles will have an even harder time with heat than full grown birds.

How about a frozen water bottle placed nearby, they can choose to be near to it or not

There isn't any sign that they're too hot. As of today there are no more issues with fighting as we moved the BR male chick. The others seem happy and healthy without him there.

We gave him his own incloser with a little coop in the shade and even he seems happier.

Sadly, the one with the hurt neck didn't make it. We've decided he might just be a lone rooster but we'll keep him where he can see the others.

Today is supposed to be cooler and we moved the bigger brooder under a big tree in the yard where it never gets Sun and only shade all day.

I'm sorry the little one didn't make it
It does sound like things are settling down though, sometimes a bird has to be removed either temporarily or permanently, so you did the right thing.
I hope all continues to go well.
