Darn it, dead chick

[Meesh]

Hi,

One of my almost 4 wk old Delawares is dead.

She died right under the lamp, which hangs down into the brooder. Could she have hit her head on the lamp??? They do boink into it sometimes. That's the only thing I can think of. The brooder temp is at 77 deg. (it should be around 80), so it's not too hot or too cold. Everyone looked find an hour or two ago.

Darn it! She was one of my better chicks.

Sorry to hear about your chick. I wish there were answers when things like this happen its so frustrating and sad. We just lost a 6 day old chick tonight.

I am sorry for your loss. I wish I knew why your little chick died.

We had a 7 week old RIR pullet go down today. They were fine this morning when I went up to feed and water them, and this afternoon, like 4 hours later, she was just down in the run, no injuries, no marks, nothing.

I think sometimes they just give out, you know?

I'm sorry about your chick, tho'. It's sad to lose such a dear little thing.

Hugs-
Em
