Oh Im so glad, and by the way I convinced my parents to buy a new heat lamp next time we visit a vet so I hope they agree,and I have a heat lamp at my home but right now I’m not home and that’s why I don’t have a heat lamp,in my hometown we have electricity so yeah I hope I will keep them warm until I get back to my home

That’s good.

Can you take a picture of your current setup where you're keeping these chicks and post it here?

Starter feed and sometimes I give meal worms as a treat

Clip lamp...any style... With a regular light bulb works. Do you have Home Depot or Walmart near by?

Don't give treats to week old chicks.

Still. It’s not a good idea to take on chicks without the supplies you need.

Not all countries/areas of the world have access to everything that might be needed, that doesn't mean they can't try with the supplies they have. They were asking for help, not to be scolded.

Lots of people have tried and failed because of lack of supplies (ex-unsecure coop/run) or not being educated. We are a community to help not point fingers

My mom has raised chicks without electricity before by giving them a little place to huddle in. If there are enough of them in a small space they can warm the space up and do fine. I tried it my first time and lost a few chicks so I'd say you're doing just fine! And your parents are right about posting things on the internet People forget (or maybe don't know) that the internet was not designed to be safe or secure or even anonymous. And it has gotten worse since it was invented lol
