I am raising 10 chicks for a friend. I started with 12. I have them on water oak leaves because that's what we have available for free. Bedding is changed at least twice weekly and food/water every day. They're in a plastic dog crate in a garage. I've lost 4 so far and have no idea what's going on.
They are eating medicated feed because that's what the feed store has. They are 2-3 weeks old and are just dying one by one. I can't find any fungal issues and don't have any idea what's causing this. These are healthy, otherwise hardy chicks that are dying. Is there some issue with oak leaves I should be aware of??
