    Chicks dying

    Yes. We had 2 in the bigger brooder but since we’ve lost quite a few we took it down to one. All 15. Yes. This is temporary because we couldn’t fit the bigger brooder in our house. They are drinking and eating just fine. They have chick grit as well.

    Corid mishap… maybe

    First time chicken mom. Long story short… had 3 silkie chicks die all within a few days of each other over a week timeframe. Not any symptoms besides lethargy from them, but I was worried the flock maybe had coccidiosis. So I mixed the correct amount of corid with water and left it for them...
