I have a light on them, not all of them are gasping just one. They don't seem to be hot at all either.
I have been trying to treat an eye infection going around really fast and have been claiming chicks almost every other night now.
But I have them separated from the others.

Ah, only 3 weeks old. What kind of feed do they have? On the heat light, is it over the entire brooder, or at one end where they can come and go from it? What kind of bedding do you use? Could it have gotten wet and musty?

they are on chick starter, the heat is over the middle of the brooder. I use pine shavings, no I keep it dry.
