The UD Davis necropsy found an e. Coli yolk sac infection.

Losing them that way is really sad, but I have managed to save a couple by treating them with Baytril and supportive care.

Quote: Your amazing Kathy, I just had to put a chick down that didnt absorb as it had the yolk sack grown around its leg, second time I had this, very very weird the poor thing.

Well, I had two of them from the same hen (actually this makes three from this hen in two hatches). I gave them a basic vitamin supplement which included vitamin E and B complex (just a little powder on the tongue so they wouldn't choke) and one of them is back to normal. The other is not responding. I am trying a supplement with some selenium in it now, but I don't think it will work now at three days old. I'm going to give it another two days, giving it vitamins three times a day and if it doesn't work I shall put it down.

I think I need to add a vitamin supplement with E, Bcomp and selenium (you need the E for selenium uptake) amongst other vitamins and minerals, to my breeders feed. Its just the one hen, but I don't think it will hurt anyone else.

I will try a little baytril in addition to the vitamins though, its worth a try.
