Good idea. Figure out where your state vet lab is (or find a vet who deals with chickens), and next time one dies, but it in a ziploc bag, and refrigerate it til you can get it to a vet.

I have absolutely no clue what it could be..... Maybe the vaccine backfired?

Possible, I have no idea. My friend got 300 and gave me 22, from the same shipment, and 3 of hers have died now. She said a few is normal. 1 in 100 deaths for her, mine are almost half!!!

There was no poop in the water, for them to drink and they were vaccinated but it is highly possible....

 

[PeepersMama]

That's highly possible. Every disease has innumerable strains- and sometimes a new strain proves immune to the vaccine. :/

That's what I'm thinking is it. What are they vaccinated for? Marek's?

 

[BYCforlife]

I think Cocci.

 

[PeepersMama]

I think Cocci.

Bloody poop?

 

[BYCforlife]

No. Although they were showing no signs of overheating, I think that is the problem.

Okay. I've never had to deal with cocci, so I don't know too much about it besides bloody poop :/

But I suppose that's a good thing for me

No. Although they were showing no signs of overheating, I think that is the problem.

My thermomometer is stuck at 95 F, the perfect temp but I think it is broken because we raised the heater and the temp didn't move even a millimetre.

Well, thanks for the help anyway. We have a friend who has not ordered chicks yet, well add to hers for 10 or so more and pray for the best!

Faulty thermometers have been the ruin of me multiple times.
Any chance you could get a replacement STAT??
