2 of my 2 month old roosters died in 2 days

[EastonsMommy]

I've let them out twice in a makeshift cage on grass and yes I have 10 chickens that are full time free range also the other 3 the that are in the same brooder are still

Honestly, if they were mine, I would start treatment of all the rest with Corid as soon as possible. It's very safe and won't hurt them, but if it was coccdiosis, they have all been exposed. Coccidiosis is very common in chicks. Those that are exposed and recover will have some resistance to it in the future.

I put corid in their water yesterday and will continue treatment , thank you

My brooder is very similar, a bit wider. Are you going to move them out of the brooder soon? At 8 weeks they should not need supplemental heat anymore and can be outdoors.
I would still go ahead and treat them with the Corid.

Ok thank you ill move them out after the 7 day treatment

Do you have a way to monitor the humidity in the brooder? Using a heater increases the humidity(high humidity can lower their resistance to disease)

I do but im going to stop using the heat at all , which the brooder is very well ventilated

Ventilation doesn't solve the problem of high humidity when the air comes from another heated room such as yours.

Edit: Chickens release a lot of moisture thru expiration and droppings .The problem will get worse as the birds get bigger.
Adding an outdoor vent circulates cool air inside the brooder

The brooder box is outside on the porch

I have 5 2 month olds in a big brooder box very well ventilated, last night I found one of the roos dead and noticed the other not acting himself then all today he'd get up and walk slowly to different areas probably to avoid his hyper siblings but his comb was a tad bit lighter but not much , I did here a tad bit of noise in his lungs but only noticeable when I held him so it wasnt loud and wasnt constant, tonight when I went to check on him he was laying down with and had some clear mucus near him and minutes later he began to violently cunvolse while clear liquid spewed and then died , also I forgot to mention I did notice blood in some stool last night after the first one died and changed the bedding and a tad bit in some today but didn't see it unless I closely inspected and it wasnt much but it was kinda stringy in the stool , note photo was taken right before he died View attachment 4234858

Sorry for your loss, I found one of my roosters dead a few weeks back, no trauma or missing feathers, he was happy and seamed healthy

Putting the food and water on the opposite side would make the chicks warmer. They'll get a draft from that lower vent on front.I hope your chicks are doing better!

I received the diagnosis from the narcropsy but need help knowing what the second diagnosis means and what I can do about it
