My baby's sick?

[Mutchi]

So my turkey, was caught sneezing and chicken snot splattered on my hand when it sneezed!(although I thought it was cute at first...)but! It has been cold lots lately even in the lamp!(the others were panting so I moved it up) any way. It's been getting cold when should be hot and hot when should be cold. So normally it would shiver when I hold it but it wasn't shivering like normal it was....
Hanging it's mouth open, I suspected that it was hot and when I put it down it had started shivering! Does my turkey have a cold? Or worse? Is something stuck in the nose causing it to sneeze? How can I help it?

also I can't post videos mother won't approve.

I am not very experienced with baby chicks and therefore will not be able to help you myself, but I think it would be helpful for people to know the size of the brooder, what type of heat lamp you have, and the temperature of the lamp. Also, how many chicks do you have?

Just stop getting more birds. You clearly don't have the correct setups for them. Almost every week you seem to have another problem with them. When you make a thread you are asking for advice so please listen to us and do what we tell you!

What are you using for heat?
Newly hatched birds need heat...until they are about 4-6 weeks old.

I think Westinghouse heat bulbs 250 watts

They are still super small! Like, they were born yesterday!

It doesn't matter, they need space to get away from the heat. We've been over and over this. Do your other 45 have proper space now? Were you able to sell some?

Not yet ... sorry! I can't and I'm afraid to ask to use power tools... because.... I need them to get materials right and I don't think I should ask for them. Mother would just ask why and when I tell her she will say no....

But on nice days I've been letting them out to run around the coop while the older ones are locked out.... but then I put them back in and then I feel horrible
