    Surviving on egg yolks alone?

    My chick just passed away. Thank you to everyone who gave advice. I'd been caring for it? him? her? for two weeks and I'm honestly surprised and proud she made it this long because I thought she would pass so many times before. Every night, before bed, I would wonder if that was the last night I...

    Unresponsive eye??

    My chick just passed 😔 It was gasping so much and I thought of just ending things quickly but it's night time where I am and no one's awake to do it for me 😔

    SO MANY CHICKS DYING!!

    Here are photos of the brooder and the poop. I wasn't able to count how many there were but initially, there were 200 and then a lot of them started dying. There are also 7 silkies in the same brooder but separated by a wooden wall. I was told they were vaccinated while these ones weren't...

    SO MANY CHICKS DYING!!

    My first thought was also that it could be temp related but we had a previous flock that used the same bulbs (I think just normal LED bulbs) and they were fine. It also has been raining so the temperatures have been pretty cool. I'll try to see though if we have something to measure the...

    SO MANY CHICKS DYING!!

    Wasn't able to check the nostrils and eyes of the ones that died but the ones currently breathing hard have clear ones. They don't seem to have paralyzed legs, necks, or wings either but I can't really tell since they're lying down most of the time. The poops are fairly solid and a light brown...

    SO MANY CHICKS DYING!!

    I haven't observed any other issues with them. The ones about to die just breathe heavily but I haven't seen any diarrhea or blood in the brooder. The older chick did have watery poop yesterday but it had just traveled for about 1-2 hours so I assumed it was stress. Even if the older one had...

    SO MANY CHICKS DYING!!

    We just got a bunch of new chicks (1 week old) a few days ago and today, at least 11 of them are dead in the brooder. What could be happening? We have an older chick (3-4 weeks old) from a different flock that we placed with the younger ones just yesterday. Could it have brought something to...

    Unresponsive eye??

    I know but I don't have it in me to cull it. I've been feeding egg yolk with mash feed. And I give it water with ACV and vitamins. I've also been giving it doxycycline and tiamulin.

    Unresponsive eye??

    Thanks so much. Not sure it'll make it today. It's severely emaciated despite how often I feed it 😔

    Surviving on egg yolks alone?

    Just wanted to make an update. The right eye (the one with the iris that turned reddish brown and the pupil that turned cloudy) seems like it's back to normal but now the previously good eye has gone cloudy, not in the same way as the other one. It started with whitish spots on the outside of...

    Alright, will look for amprolium. Nope, Philippines!

    Alright, is amprolium the generic name for it? I might just purchase that in case I can't find Corid specifically where I'm from. Thank you!
