That is a very tiny space for them. They need more room for good health and growing. What are you using for heat? Have you looked at their vents to make sure they can poop ok? You won't be able to mix them in with older birds until these are 3 months old.

Hello and Welcome to Back Yard Chickens. Glad that you have joined this fun and poultry loving community. You are getting good advice here now. The heat is critical at this stage and keeping their vents open and free of caked poop so they can poop.

That is WAY too cold for young chicks.

If that's 28 degrees celsius that translates to 82* fahrenheit.

28C is 82F and that's too cold for that age. They should be at 32C for a week, then can go down a bit each week. If you provide more heat to them in that little box, you'll bake them so need to find something longer so that they can get warm at one end, and go by the food/water at the other end to cool down.

Welcome to BYC! Hopefully, you get this figured out and they will be okay!!
