We had 12 chicks, 2 from our incubator and 10 from a local farm. They all seemed fine then Friday 2 of them looked a bit sea sick. By Saturday morning 3 were dead, then Sunday another 2, this morning our 2 from the incubator and 1 of the farm chicks were dead, 1 more this evening. Before they die their wings start to droop, then they lose the ability to walk, then finally they die with legs stretched out behind them. We have 3 remaining, is there anything we can do. They are on straw with heat lamp. They are fed chick crumb and have had a few meal worms but none in last few days. They are cleaned every third day, water changed daily. We went to a vet yesterday but she said nothing you can do really with chicks as it could be so many things.
