I am pretty new still to raising chickens. I found a local lady that we have been getting our birds from. We started off with 6 turkeys, 2 died. No big deal, it happens. We started getting chicks from the feed store. No problems with those chicks really. We went back to our bird lady and got 6 chicks. We have done nothing different with the chicks from our local lady than we did with the chicks from the feed store. 4 of the 6 chicks died at different times. They were replaced. So we were back up to 6 again. Now, 4 more have died. I'm very discouraged. I know a couple of them had pasty butt and we were taking care of that. Since they were all days to a week old, we had them on medicated food. I also tried some ACV in the water and before that had tried some probiotic mix for their water that the feed store recomended.
I'm not sure what, if anything, we are doing wrong. Any advice would greatly be appreciated!
