    At Wits End

    They will be fine and then the next day you will find them just lying dead on the floor of the brooder. Nothing visibly wrong with them that you can see with the naked eye. Losing them out of both brooders. It's just weird that they are mostly Rhode Island Reds. The Reds are 2 weeks old or a...

    Everytime I get a shipment of chicks, I have at least one die within the first day or two. We just received a shipment of chicks and, as I was putting them in the brooder one by one, I noticed one was lethargic and had it's umbilical cord still attached. I doctored it and it died over night...
