Worried about my new chick...

[Rjmakmom]

Hi,
I am new to the boards, and to keeping chickens. In fact, it's been 2 whole days now. I bought 12 chicks from TSC on Friday, have already lost 2, and now I am afraid that my friendliest bantam may be prolapsing. There seems to be something pink sticking out and a large lump underneath. Since this is my first post, the website won't let me put a pic up, or a link to the pic at Facebook. Help please! I don't know if my kids can handle another loss today.

Hi, do the chicks have a heat source and have they been eating and drinking? More info would be helpful.
