Not having very good luck with my chicks :(

I'm so sorry that you're going through this.

I don't know what's going on with chicks this year, but we lost 10 altogether. All six of the first batch, from a vitamin deficiency, and 4 of the second batch, from a possible fungal infection. So far the remaining two girls are doing well, although one is tiny and feathering slowly, but she's a fighter, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Hope you have better luck with the ones you have now.

The one we have that is sickly, she is about 2 months now and is smaller than she should be and feathering out slowly too...now, she has a neurological disorder I think but, has always been a slow grower for some reason. But, she's a fighter!
 
We've been giving our two girls Poly Vita Sol. One drop three times a day at first then weaning them off as they improve. Our big girl isn't getting any now, but we also have a tiny girl that is very slow to feather(she's 7 weeks today), so she's getting two drops a day still. I'm sure that the vitamins were what saved their lives, maybe they can help your girls too.

I check for pasty butt twice a day and I am giving the new chicks vitamins now along with my 2 older chicks. The persons I originally bought the chicks from told me all they needed was chick starter, it had everything in it, so I didn't get vitamins.
