Shaun,(posted 9641 days ago)What kind of conditions were they in at where you bought them? Did they have a lamp on them? Or were they with a hen? If they had a lamp outside in S. California, you should probably put one on them again tonight, and gradually wean them off of it. Are these chicks a week old or? Maybe a little more information would help decide.
You can always tuck them inside your shirt while you think of something to do. I was just looking at my chicken book, and they like it pretty warm.
Where's Gerbil when we need her?
I'll look up the chick info I got from Murray McMurray and get back to you. Maybe someone else will catch up to you first.
