It's exactly 95 degress (the recommended temp) for their age. The other side is quite a bit cooler (I'm guessing 85, w/out moving my thermometer to check for sure). I think temps are ok. The others seem fine, but so did she yesterday. What seems to happen is chick weakens, then becomes...

Sadly, she didn't make it. Do I need to give the remaining birds and sort of preventative? (We are using medicated feed, they are not vaccinated for Mareks {they are bantams}) I'm hoping it was just shipping stress. Either way, not looking forward to when my daughter wakes and I have to tell...

I made her drink some water and a bit of the wetted food. She was not enthusiastic about either. She had pooped quite a bit (brown, stringy), but I noticed it had a small amount of pinkish mucus. I did not aggressively clean her vent, so I don't think it's from that. She did get up and...
