Thanks for all your help and support guys, I now have 16 healtrhy chicks who i will concentrait on.....just ordered a new house for them, as in a few weeks 16 orpingtons will take up a LOT of room!

lucinda,
I had a little one last year with splayed leg and curled toes that I lost. She was in the house for 2 weeks and you get very attached to them. You can't save them all, no matter how hard we try. It sounds like you're doing a great job! Good luck with the rest of your little ones. They grow up so fast. ;-0.

I give my chicks broiler booster from Mcmurray for the first week. It is basically just a powdered vitamin mix that contains contains Vitamin A, D, E, B-12, electrolytes, and biotin. I have a fried who has used it for all his chicks and has never lost one after hatching.
