I am pretty sure (because I own many) all you have to do is put them under a heat lamp in a fish tank (with no water).

Good Luck!

We keep our baby chicks in our bedroom to stay warm. We put them in a good size box with a red bulb overtop of them. Spring nights still get pretty cold.

What is the body covering of chicken?

Chickens are covered in feathers. These help the chicken to keep warm. They also help a chicken to fly, or at least to slow its fall if it happens to be dropped or fall from a height. Chicks have more of a fluffy coating while their feathers have not developed. It functions mainly to keep them warm. Chicks can easily die of cold, hence they are raised in an area with a heat lamp that they can sleep under, and out of any draughts.

How do you get a shell stuck to a baby chick off?

You need to keep humidity up over 60% in the brooder box if you have transfered the chicks to a separate area. Never be in a rush to move the newly hatched chicks from the incubator. They should stay with their brood mates in the humid, warm incubator for at least 24 hours after hatch. You can add a few small drops of warm water to the area that appears stuck (use an eye dropper). Keep the chick warm at all times and out of drafts. Do not pull the shell away from the body of the chick, you may damage it.
