    Dying chicks

    The Corid seems to be helping. Bloody poop is almost gone and no one died yesterday or overnight! Yay!!!

    Dying chicks

    EcoGlo 20 chick brooder. They aren't hiding. They're happy and playful. Then suddenly lethargic, puffed, won't open eyes, won't move, bloody poop. Then die. I'm thinking cocci from the symptoms so I'm treating with Corid.

    They aren't huddled or piled up. They are normal playful and alert. Then they die. Ugh.

    Sorry should have said their warming area is. They can get out of their heated area to cool.

    Dying chicks

    Don't have a pic, but it's a large tote/tub. Newspaper bedding, chick starter & water. Temp between 95-98. Everything is changed often, several times a day because of the bloody poop.

    I lost another one overnight. An Ameraucana. Ugh. I started Corid yesterday afternoon, so I guess we'll see how it goes. Is a cocci outbreak common in chicks? I usually let my broodies do the job, but I really needed more hens, so I bought these.

    Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

    My daughter thought she (who turned out to be a he) looked like the colors of the moon surface. That's how ours got the name.

    Thanks! I've isolated the last :( SLW because I thought I saw a tiny bit of blood. I put a paper towel down to check but no blood so far. I'm going to keep her isolated for a while longer though. I'm just sick and heartbroken!

    Yes, I've seen this. With mine being only a week old, I thought they might be too young to definitely say for sure?

    Dying chicks

    They were not vaccinated, I asked that specifically. They're about a week old. I forgot that part.

    Dying chicks

    I've lost yet another chick! 4th loss in 4 days! I bought 12 chicks Friday. 2 Ameraucanas (healthy), 3 Black Australorps (healthy), 3 SLW, 4 Buff O. 2 BO dead, 2 SLW dead. Brooder conditions are good (temp good, fresh water and food, fresh bedding daily, etc.) Medicated chick starter only...

    Hello from Mississippi

    These 12 are in addition to the six painted silkies we got about 3 weeks ago. Aaaand we have silkies setting a dozen white silkie eggs. So. Many. Chickens. Hahaha

    Red chick feet

    We found them at the same time. The Wyandotte was already dead,the buff was barely moving. I'm assuming it was off the nest a bit longer.
