We just bought 5 baby silkies. They are just under a week old. We have put them in their brooder and they are settling in. Just had a couple of concerns. We put a thermometer in and it is reading about 95. But the chicks are staying under it, but are panting. I showed them where the water and food are, But they won't move around too much unless we pick them up and put them back down. They are just sitting under the light and sleeping.
Just curious if this is normal behavior until they are used to a new place or if we should be concerned? We are total newbies. Never done this before. Never had chickens before. So any info I can get would be great?
