A lady came by today and dropped off a chick that I think may be a grouse(?) It's singing away in our brooder, but what should it eat?
Can I raise it on our chick starter feed?
So far, it's been most excited by a watermelon rind :)
That one died as well
1) I don't think they were vaccinated, what happens when they get cocciditis?
2) Yes, we're giving them a little molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar in their water
Everyone else seems chipper, hope this is the end of it!
We got them from a hatchery that doesn't seem to have...
We just got 26 chicks in yesterday, and two died right away, arching backs and falling over then foaming at the mouth when they died. I checked all the chicks of them for pasty butt last night, but today another one is fading out -- lethargic and tipping over.
I tried dipping her beak in water...
