I know the video isn't that great. I hope you can see the little twitching thing they are doing with their head. And they won't eat(or drink unless I make them drink).
Does it look like normal heat stress to you? Anything else I can do to help them?

Here's another video:

One of them just died. I don't know what else to do. We have been taking extra good care of them since they got here. The other one isn't looking too good either.

Oh No!

My little psycho chick shook her head like that, but she recovered and is happy and healthy (and one of my friendliest!) now. Is that sav-a-chick in the water? The color makes me think yes. That's what I used on phycho chick. I'd say just try to get it to drink plenty and good luck! Hopefully someone else has more advice.

I'm sorry, they don't look good. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do...

You might try hard boiled egg soup (hard boiled egg yolk crumbled in sav a chick) but if they were beaten up too much in shipping, there's not much you can do.

Hey guys, two of the chicks that shipped were a little squished when they got here, so we separated them and gave them save a chick and have been babying them, but they still aren't doing well. I was hoping it was heat stress, stress from shipping, but after a brief recovery, they went back to "not so good" status. Here's a link to the video:

I'd love to hear any thoughts.

Why are they so wet?

What is the temperature and ventilation like in that container? 95F is best to give them the best chance at survival, but they need enough floor area to move to a cooler area.

This is a personal choice but I do not like to start them on bedding so fine. I doubt it is a factor here, but if they lay their faces in it, they can ingest small particles of bedding.

I've not had much success with chicks that look that bad.
