HELP!

[Gabyfun1]

I think my chicks are a bit over heated, two of them passed but I have one who is going okay, I don’t know what to do to save it, i have near a window with fresh air and a blow dry on low and set to cool, any help please?

I would raise your heat lamp and then dip the beaks in water to make sure they are not dehydrated. If they huddle under the heat lamp they are cold.

If they are dehydrated you should make them an electrolyte solution for a day or two. You can make your own or buy it at Tractor Supply.

How old are they?
What does your brooder look like?
Do they have a cooler area to go to so they don't overheat?

Make sure to have space in the brooder where the heat is not directly hitting it so if they need to cool down they can.

Photos of set up? Do you have a thermometer in there? If so, what are the highs and lows within the brooder?

Not a good idea to blow air directly at a chick as it can't regulate temperature well. Is the ambient temperature in the room/area too hot? If so, how hot?
