In the Brooder
Looking for advice/ help
Lost one of my 3 day old quail chicks yesterday it wasn’t eating or drinking and just slept under the brooder plate. It than looked as if it was struggling to breathe and was gasping air and eventually died. Today one of my 3 week old quail chicks been similar.Been Very lethargic not eating and drinking and basically just sleeping all day, making these little cry noises. was all lively yesterday.It snuggled up into me and suddenly stopped breathing.
Chip was special because I helped it hatch it was shrinkwrapped to the shell and after 24 hours was still not out.thought I would loose him so was quite chuffed it made it to week 3. So maybe something didn’t develop properly?
However Made appointment with vet on Saturday I am worried I have coccidiosis although no signs of loose stool or blood. So worried I am loosing my babies.
As I was typing this I lost another 3 day old chick. Anyone got any ideas.
