1 week old chick with pasty butt and wings drooping

Also, you said "I don't want to loose anymore babies"
Have you lost many chicks? Did they act them same way?

Just trying to rule out any illness.....like cocci. No bloody stools, right?

This was the 2nd one to die out of this hatch. One was born and couldn't open his eyes and this one now is gone. I think it got chilled. I don't believe it is contagious.

I'm sorry to hear that. If you get any more chicks acting weak, try the suggestions I posted before. It seems to work really well as long as you catch them early.
