5 days old chicks dying one after another

[miskyst]

I'm sorry for your losses.

They are bantams, so are they able to eat the chick crumble o.k.?
For tiny babies like this, I usually grind feed up very fine in a blender of food processor until they are a couple of weeks old.
Or you can offer them some wet mushy feed.

Work on hydration. Give your chick drops of sugar water. If you have Poultry Nutri-Drench, give her 1-2 drops twice a day.

Is the chick that is not doing well one of the "healthy" ones or one that hatched with some issues? If it hatched with some issues, it may be failure to thrive and no matter what you try, they just don't make it.

The one I’m worried about is the only bantam, which is the last “healthy” one.

I do feel like the baby is just pecking on the food and eating less than they should. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll make some mash for them as they seem to really like it with yolk

Maybe I should start a new thread about this but,
the two babies both have some trouble walking stable (I guess it’s no big deal) especially the wry neck one (name Faith). Faith has improved from unable to eat by itself to now able to peck super hard on stuff. It likes to run in rounds.
And that’s the issue! Faith bothers a lot the bantam who is sleeping. Faith also pecks the chickie when it is trying to sleep
My question is: is this a behavior issue that should be fixed or should I just let it be?

I wouldn’t separate the two since they are the only babies left.

I incubated the chicks. 5 hatched out of 13. Three “healthy” ones, one has splayed legs, another has wry neck.

Where did the eggs come from?

Nutritional deficiencies and heath issues in the parent flock can be the cause for poor hatchrate and issues with the chicks.

How is she doing now?

Are you giving Vitamin E and B-Complex to the one with Wry Neck? If not, I would start that. I'd actually give it to all of them.

Give each chick 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4tablet B-Complex daily for a couple of weeks.

Can you get photos of how they stand?

A video of how they move may be helpful too, upload video to youtube and provide a link.
