Hi I have 1 rooster and 10 hens had to keep them all penned up for about a month and they all the sudden became really sick one died, one hen would lay with feet kinda cramped up looking, the rest just act like they have no energy areas on face look a little pale some have runny poop they are...
I had another hatch out like that I left it in the incubator and it fixed itself...but I handled a couple of the chicks too much and they died I didn't know that was possible but I guess their yolk sacks broke and it made them choke and die
I'm freaking out just got home and now I have two chicks that were doing great just laying there feet all shriveled so I hand fed it water little drops proped neck up for them to swallow and one bubbles up and puked up yellow stuff and died! :((((( the other is just still laying there! Maybe I...
