chicks are dying don't know why

[dadsgirl]

going to chicken pen on and off now for 1 month , seem fine one day, dead the next , ageing from 2-6months old , does anyone have any clues what might be killing them.

Not enough information to say. What symptoms do they show? What has the weather been like? What are they eating? Have they been exposed to other chickens? Is there bloody poop? So many things we need to know to even start to guess.

Have you used medicated starter? If not might be cocci as this is very common .

 

[dadsgirl]

not showing any symptoms, they are on medicated starter, no bloody feces, seem fine and then next day are dead.

are they cornish X's?

I am having similar issues with my silkies. But I found some bloody stool yesterday. So I am pretty sure we are dealing with cocci. I am putting the sulmet in the water and have cleaned out all the coops. Any other suggestions???
