Yay! Oh the future babies!
About the chick that died... No, do not give antibiotics. Do put ACV with the mother in their water. Sometimes, for reasons unknown, they die. That sucks big time. Just had an EE pullet do that yesterday... 9 week pullet. Puffed up one day, dead the next. Why, don't...
I think its two late for that, but give it a few more weeks and you'll know. I know that I got 2 from TSC also, one turned out to be a boy. Unluckily, he ended up being dinner for a raccoon...
