Baby chick's dying!! help

[Gnarled Carrots]

Wheezing can also be a sign that their vents are clogged. I had this happen to a chick once. I freaked out and called a very expensive vet, just to figure out that I needed to pour a small amount of saline through her nostril to clear the dust. After a couple weeks, when she got a little bigger, she was perfectly fine again. Although that doesn't sound like what you're dealing with, it can be a problem with young chicks.

Wheezing and gurgling can also be a sign that they've aspirated some water. It can happen when we dip beaks, or they're getting a drink and another rambunctious chick jumps or pushes on them.

Sorry about your chickies

Chickens are hatched fairly self sufficient. They eat, drink, and walk around on their own from day 1. However, they're not great at socializing! They will walk on top of one another for several weeks. This can injure or kill newly hatched chicks and, although uncommon, these kinds of injuries and deaths can happen.

I'm starting to have the same problem but it's only one of the breeds in the brooder. I have my bantam polish and seabrights in the brooder now and the polish are thriving but the seabrights aren't, I go up to check twice to three times a day and it only happens overnight can someone help me? Please

What's the temp in your brooder? If they're only dying at night, I'm wondering if they're piling up and the ones on the bottom are getting squished/suffocated.

I didn't think about them suffocating each other, but there isn't many in there, the brooder is in a building so the little bulb I would think it's putting out enough heat that they shouldn't have to pile up on top of each other. Thanks for the input on the matter
