Hi! We had a similar experience also. First I would take a vacuum and use it in the corners and in the nesting box. Also use Seven dust( lightly) or DE to help sanitize. Another thing to get is poultry protecter and use in corners. It is also important you make sure the building is ventilated...
Hello. My advice would to make sure the chick has a steady heat/light source and meticated feed. Also have warm or lukewarm water for the the chick not cold. Keep me posted! Thanks.
I am not sure what is going on, but I think it might be a good idea to separate them from the flock.
And I would deep clean the coop even though they aren't mites or lice.
if they all are getting bad I would give them all probiotic. Even if some seem to be okay I would still give them some.

I have some broody hens too, but once they get setting for a little while they stop and go to the box right beside them or just go back to normal. We might get started into turkey business. The neighbor that is letting me use her stuff is asking if we would incubate and raise some to mate. So...
The due date is the 31 of this month! Thank you for that story of your best hatch. I have done one batch before and set 18 eggs and got 10! That was with one of those Styrofoam incubators. It was a very neat experience. But this time I am using a industrial hatchery incubator that a friend is...
