Two days ago we brought in 9 Ayam Cemani. 6- 1week olds and 3- that Just hatched from a local breeder.( They are in Quarantine) When we got home we noticed some of the 1 week olds had droopy wings. I given them Probiotics, Electrolytes and Vitamins. As I do all Newcomers. They seemed to all perk up and were eating and drinking that I noticed. Yesterday a few with the droopy wings didnt want to leave from under the heat source. Fast forward today One of the 1week olds with droopy wings died when I picked him up he felt heavier and bloated towards the back end. After rechecking all the others, another even feels heavier then yesterday with Bloated and is gasping for air. His crop feels full aswell. I'd be surprised if he makes it. If he doesnt we plan to cut open and look internally. He sounds cracky like he has a respiratory infection.Which made me think he has Brooder Pneumonia. The younger chicks seem to have no problems that I have detected.Does anyone have ideas of what this could be or how to treat? TIA
