Please help!

I have 2 silkie chicks. I got them Friday. They are tiny! One sleeps constantly! I pick it up and it immediately sleeps again. The other is active. I have sugar water in their brooder to hopefully help it perk up. What could be the problem? I don't want to lose her, I already lost a chicken this week. Thank you!!

First, the chick you lost this week Do you know why it died?


How old are the chicks that you got Friday and who did you get them from?
Also what exactly are you feeding them and what temperature is the brooder?

It was a grown chicken. She was killed by my neighbors dog.

They are 2 weeks according to the breeder I got them from. They have medicated feed from tsc with a bit of organic powder feed that I got because their beaks are so small. The brooder is 90 degrees.

I also gave the sick one some egg yolk with a bit of food mixed in.

Can you take a clear video of the chicks and upload it to YouTube?

Is there a place in the brooder that they can move away from the heat? If not they might be to warm.

If a video is not possible can you get clear close up pictures of each?

I can do both. She barely eats from the dropper
