My husband just got back from giving the chicks the starter. They seem much happier now. I will let you know if this solves the problem.. I hope we don't have anymore dead chicks tomorrow.

Try playing some Yanni, or Native American. I, personally don't play music. They make enough noise on their own.

A friend of mine was going through the same situation you are. She also had Ameracuana chicks and they killed all the other baby chicks(same age) that were in the brooder with them. Her Ameracuanas were plucking all the eye balls out of the other poor babies. so sad. I have 2 Ameracuanas that are 2 months now and i never had any porblems with them. If anything, my Ameracuanas got picked on and still do. Mine were younger than the others so that may be why. all chickens will pick on eachother from time to time, some chicks just do it more. Good luck and i hope it all works out for the chicks!!
