Diseases in my flock?

They don't suffer I'm working on a new coop, a bigger one and the old one will be a chick brooder
If they're dying from lack of space then yes, they're suffering a lot.
And you should find ASAP a temporary solution to give more space to the chicks, until you build the new coop.
 
Be serious. You can’t have 43 chicks in a 1x3 space without them having to stand on each other’s backs. Unless you can provide pics of them, all nice and happy, I refuse to believe they are living happy lives. Or that those lives will be long.
43 chicks in an 1x3?!😦
That's the space for 6 chicks (and just for the first 2-3 weeks)
They need something like 7 times bigger (like 7x3 or better if a bit bigger like 6x4). If they'll stay for more time in the brooder they'll need something like 40-45 sqft, so like a 6x7 or 5x8.
In that box I don't even know how they can walk without trampling the others and how they can reach food and water.
I feel so bad for these chicks
