I want to agree with bringing them in, put them in their brooder with pine or paper towels (I use paper towels for bedding. Put in a thermometer and set one side at 90 degrees F. Put in 2 small waterers and a feeder. Give them the medicated chick starter and a clean fresh water and a waterer with probiotics and maybe vitamins and stop giving anything else. Your chicks may be fine. But they've been eating things and around older birds and likely stressed at their new transitions. Don't put them back out until they have their feathers. I worry. I might be in the minority but I keep my birds in 6+ weeks then house separately inside my coop.

Because sometimes you need an icepack and pain reliever in one can.

From a man he had them cooped up with pullets and he had saw dust in there with them and in mine I don't have saw dust

And I live in tn

But the thing is that they love being in there pen and they are us to the outside

Even though temps hit 90 in the day, they won't be consistent. We're in a heat wave (south Louisiana) and my chicks are in an outdoor brooder with a fan during the day when the heat index is 105, and a heat bulb at night when it's below 90. If they were outside with older birds, then they were likely "borrowing" warmth from the group. Until they are feathered the chicks cannot regulate their temperature. That's why you find them in big piles. Give them a safe environment with consistent temps for a few more weeks.

I've done that. Works well. Nothing like having a good multitasker in the kitchen. (Or six...)

Take care, kiddo. Keep me posted please

good luck. See if you can get more pics of them, I think we would all like to see how they're looking. Also to me they look a bit older than under a week... But that's just from your one picture.

But what happened??

Duckling and I had a bad evening. She was overtired, and I was annoyed with her MIA parents. I got careless, and a PVC pipe popped out of its cinder block (it was arched, and one end in each of two blocks) and whipped me in the eye twice.
Her father showed up an hour later after she was finally asleep.
