7 Dead Chicks

[gander007]

She/he's a fighter!

Your chick feeder will take a Mason jar normal size opening
that is what it is made for but really a lot of different jars fit ..

Good looking chick have you given him/her any egg yet as
it is a natural food it would be good for health reason's and
I always feed it to my chicks for the first 12 weeks and there
is just a great difference .....

I have not given her eggs, but I will. Do you cook them?

I have 8 older chicks outside doing well. Waiting awhile before I put this one out.

Thanks!

Thank you all my babies are well now,you all are so kind.even the vet thought I was silly for being upset over a auction chick,but to me my chicks are just as important as dogs,plus dogs don't lay eggs lol

The survivor chick won't eat egg, but my older ones in the coop LOVE it! The baby is still going strong and is done with the corrid. Started her on probiotics yesterday and am gonna wait till the weekend before I put her with the rest of the flock.
Picked up a couple of 10 month old Buff Orpingtons yesterday.
As cute as the chicks are, I think I'm done buying babies!

 

[gander007]

Sure everyone is always finished buying baby's till the next time they go into a feed store ..

 

[SaltySparrows]

No, really. They are cute. But all I see when I see chicks now is more food and no eggs! I'll stick to laying age hens

I've had chicks get coccidiosis with the vaccine for it, or medicated feed. I do have to say tho that I think the vaccine or medicated feed had slowed the progression to death. I've also lost some to necrotic enteritis, which can be caused by cocci or other bacteria. So I tend to treat with sulfadimethoxine, which would take care of both.

Coccidiosis does not always make blood in the stool.
