so sad for the lost

If the brooder is to warm or they arent drinking enough they can get pasty butt or get a blockage inside and they might try to roll around to try to get it out maybe? Try some electrolyte water to hydrate them?

Adding electrolytes to their water daily for their first week or so will prevent pasty butt-- my hatchery recommended this to me, and it did work- no pasty butt. Now I give them electrolytes once a week for maintenance. I bought it at the hatchery but i've seen it in tractor supply as well.

yeah just lower the temperature and put plenty of water out so the have the oppurtunity t get water

 

[hen101]

yes it does work give once a week to them annd they sell at tractor supply and you can order it online

I have a theory that when a chick hatches, Sometimes the yolk was too heavy and causes them to flip, But Idk.
