Fixed! Did not see that option when I first uploaded!

I have two 3 week old BCMarans (on Monday - photos are from Monday). The place I get them from gives a 75% probability that they are pullets. Any guesses?

I completely feel you. I’d never loved an animal so much since my pups! Chickens are great!

I’m sorry you just lost one of your babies :( I definitely love animals so much and feel lucky that we have them. They’re beautiful little individuals!

Thank you, I will do that today with the sulfur. I can’t imagine starting with an entire sick flock. I’m so sorry that happened. I know everything has a lesson but it’s still heartbreaking.

Yes I gave them preventative corid upon bringing home. Her breathing and congestion don’t really show on that video and I didn’t get a video of her when she was inside. She did purr when I’d go out and hold her tho so I do recognize those sounds. I will do your recommendations tho. :’(

Does losing chickens get easier? Because sure does break my heart!

Thank you, I will get those cleaning products.

I went with culling after a couple of hours posting. Baby was energetic but sounded just like the one that passed. I just couldn’t take hearing her so rattly and congested and her breathing was getting shorter day after day.

Thank you, I will do so. I’ve got the area closed off that she was in though I had let her out one day to see how she’d do with the others. Again, that’s my fault. I should have done a minimum 3 week quarantine. Lesson learned. 😞

Yes, I gave corid in their water. The chick is now gone so not sure I’ll upload the last videos of her anymore. :( will do that tho if I run into any future issues with any other chickens.

I bought a couple from them too and one died within 4 days and we had to cull the other one for the same respiratory issue today. I feel bad for the chickens there. It is NOT sanitary/clean.

That is what someone else mentioned to me 💔 It was breaking my heart hearing the congestion and with the help of a neighbor, we decided to cull the second one to not further spread the infection into my established flock, though I’m now worried it’s too late as I had the temporary coop they were...

Oh thank you! Didn’t know there was a Texas forum. I lost two this week 💔 I had just brought them home the Thursday before. One passed Monday and we had to cull the other one today 💔 the absolute worst few days. 😞 They both had some sort of respiratory illness. The second one was sounding like...

Hello all, I posted last week with a sick 5/6 week old chick. She passed away the next night. When I got her, I also brought home one of her siblings. She was also sneezing but mostly energetic and is eating/drinking/foraging around her hutch. She sounds more congested though as the days have...
