I had 9 chicks hatch last Wednesday and this Wednesday we found 8 dead and on Thursday we found last one dead. They where all fine eating and running around at 8am and gone by noon. The last one that died had never had been with the other chicks as he hatched late and was very small. there poo was normal and the only thing we noticed was that they where sleeping a lot and there wings started dropping,at that point we could not get them to eat or drink.the only ones that have died all hatched together. All are eating medicated chick starter and electrolyte-vitamans in the water. I am very worried because I have more chicks that are hatching right now and i have some that are 2 weeks old and baby turkeys. Any ideas as what the cause could be and how do I treat all the other chicks? thank you for any help
 
most chicks die from cocci but they usually have poop symptoms and you say yours did not. What temperature did you have them at? I am not sure what else to ask...but this can bump your question back up in the list maybe.
 
The temp in the brooder was 90-95, the strangest part is what ever it is has so far only gotten to that one hatch, the week older chicks that they where with for a few days have not gotten sick?
