New on the block

Good morning everyone, my name is Kay! Here are my backyard babies. They are going on 3 months. I want to get tips on how to prepare them for this upcoming winter in Shelby County, Tennessee.

Thank you, I just noticed that one of my Ameraucana 3 month old chicks has a respiratory infection and one of her eyes is closed shut from mucus. The temperature last night dropping down to the upper 40s. I put hay inside they're rooting boxes but they decide to sleep on their perch for the night.

Any suggestions of what I can do to get her well?

I forgot to mention that I do have 12 chicks at the age of 3 months. The coop on the left is the one that they are currently in now.

I’m so sorry they are unwell.
