Hey guys.
I woke up this morning to feed my chicks in the brooder in our garage. And found a trampled chick. I put the crumble down and all the other chicks scrambled for it but one that happened to be underneath everyone else. We live in South Florida, and when I went to bed at midnight, it was 90 degrees in the garage. So I didn't turn on the heat lamp as they range in age from 2 weeks to 4 weeks old. When I picked this one up, she was pretty cold. I fed her some sugar water and she peeped a little. But I don't think she's coming back from this. Should I have put the lamp on?
I'm a first timer. So any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.
