2 Dead Rhode Island Whites!!! Help!!

Here are a couple of the articles just to doublecheck what you are doing:

I would contact the hatchery again. Sometimes there can be bad batches of chicks, and sometimes they are not shipped safely. So much can happen to them. Even the ones from feed stores can suffer the same shipping stresses. Brooder temperatures can fluctuate all of the time inside your house or in the coop. Temperatures may cause them to huddle together under a lamp for warmth or try to get as far away from the heat if they are too warm. I spend a lot of time watching them the first 2 weeks. So sorry for your loss.

Thanks everybody! I have two that aren't doing very well but I separated them from the others. I have them egg yolk which is what the Hatchery recommended.

Sorry your having a hard time...

Are they on medicated starter?......I use medicated until my chicks are over 8 weeks old...It help build their immunity to coccoid .......I also wrap my brooder in cardboard to keep the heat in....

Best wishes......


Cheers!
