    Thank you so much for your help I'm at a loss. It scares me to think I could lose another baby

    It is a brand new brooder with pine shavings and kept dry and clean. So if this is the case, it was probably something else that killed the chicks? One was just a week old and didn't thrive (looked a little unhealthy from the start), the second seemed fine and then I heard a big "thump" and...

    The feed store told me my chicks can't have Cocci because I got them at 3 days and they have been inside, in a new brooder and haven't been exposed to any other birds. Is this true? They have been on medicated feed since I got them.

    Help! Baby chicks dying

    I have lost two chicks a week apart. Both were two weeks old and seemed happy and healthy in the morning and were dead before bedtime. They fluffed out, were sleepy, and wouldn't eat or drink. One had a seizure of sorts before it died and then had blood in its poop. The chicks are eating...
