    3 day old chicks in brooder dying

    Awww. I'm so sorry. :-( I hope you have better luck next time. Might try to wrap their crate up as well to keep them warmer. I find that being chilled is often the start of worse things. I'm so sorry.

    Bought two injured chicks today - anything else I should do for them?

    Wow. That is tough to deal with. I would try to separate any remaining chicks that seem to be OK, and when all of the sick ones are gone, I would basically sterilize the whole area. It seems that something besides failure to thrive is the problem, and you don't want to go through this again...

    pls help my rooster is hurt bad

    Did he make it? Did you make sure to have water (with electrolytes would be awesome) and feed right near him so he didn't have to expend much energy to get to it? Poor guy! Sounds like he is a great rooster to protect his flock like that. I lost the best rooster ever to a similar scenario. I...

    Sick Day Old Chick

    Melinda, are they warm enough? 95 degrees? Try adding some electrolytes to their water as well. Add some egg yolks to the feed. It is hard when you lose chicks. :-(
