Sick chicks! HELP!

[elsie4]

My neighbors gave me 4 newly hatched chicks that's mom had been killed. I put them in a cage because my chickens were attacking them. when I went out to take care of the chickens One of the chicks was acting listless.I thought it was because they were to hot so I brought the cage into the house so they would not get to hot. they seemed to be doing better but by night the one that was listless got worse and died the next day. now 2 more are starting to do the same thing! They will eat and drink then go lay down bobbing there heads and acting listless then they will chirp and pant and try to get up than lay down and bob there heads, repeat..... what can I do to help them?

Do you have a light to keep them warm? Here's a great article on how to take care of chicks:

I have them with my 1,Three week old chick that lets them crawl under her and sleep,and they are in the kitchen were it is warm but not hot. The weather here in Texas is a very humid 95.

They crawl under the older chick and she spreads her wings and acts like a mama hen.
