To young?

Where is the brooder?
Are you still supplying heat?

If the brooder is in your house, you might be able to remove the heat source. That would let them start getting used to lower temperatures (lower than heated brooder), and would be a good step on the way to moving them outdoors. Excessive heat can also make chickens drink more, so cooling them down a bit might help there too.

(I agree that more space would also be good, and you are right that moving the chicks outside is likely to be the best fix for that situation.)
Thank you i might wait a week but yes I will remove the heat source also it is in The house

When planning to move chicks outside, always take the heat source away a few days before you move them out, unless the heat source will move out there with them.

Transitioning from house temperature (about 70 degrees) will be less shock than transitioning from a brooder that is even warmer than that.
