I need your help

I’ve tried the sock thing but it smells horrible like I use clean socks and rice and when I take it out of the microwave it has a toxic smell

Rice heated up has a fragrance. I like it but some may not.

I promise that I don’t mean this in a harsh way, but in the future, it’s probably best to do your research and assemble all your needed materials before bringing a living thing into your care. I’m not sure the circumstances of your acquiring this chick—maybe it was an Easter present, maybe it was out of your control? But I promise that raising chicks is a more pleasant and rewarding experience when you’re prepared for it (and, I would argue, is an ethical responsibility as well).

your correct and no I did not get him for Easter I had a chicken before in California and it grew up to be big but since we lived in a apartment it would sing a lot in the morning and our neighborhood would get mad,so unfortunately we had to give it to my uncle and my chicken is doing well it has a girl chicken laying eggs,I know what supply’s it needed just that the chicken that we got was still a very baby and it wasn’t a week old yet.my parent raised chicken as well so they knew what it needed and since in Cali it was hot my chicken is currently alive and healthy,we moved to Washington and got a new chicken to name it after the one we gave away but over here it cold and since we thought summer was coming it would be hot but we were wrong.

OP, in the future, if you want to raise chicks again, please make sure you have a proper brooder, heater, thermometer, etc. before getting the chicks. Chicks will also fare much better if raised with other chicks, not alone.

Best wishes to you and your chick.

well that is something to prepare for in the future now. Is the chick still breathing?
