5 day old chick found dead under heat plate.

Yeah I usually use a smaller one but haven't been able to find it and with quarantine haven't been been able to run out and buy another. I guess I'll try and go out to get those things though.

just so you know, the vaccination was for mereks only.
I never buy the medicated chick feed either, or get my chicks vaccinated.
but i am very vigilant for the first few hours and 2 or 3 days as that is when you can identify any week ones.
Hard to see who is struggling under the heat plate. I have never used one.
I am old school with my heat lamp.
I hope you dont loose any more.
