So bad night for the Organic Household

We lost 11 chicks this evening, 10 DOA and 1 after a bit of fight. 3 are recovering on the heating pad, the rest are spending the night under supervision. It seems they drowned each other. I do not know everyone was fine this afternoon. I gave them water in a small waterer and left them. Went to check them after supper to find half of the dead

Oh NO!!

Oh no!!! Was there marbles in the waterer? Did bedding get kicked into it and cause the water to wick out? So sorry!!

I am so sorry! What a shock and how sad.

I had rocks in there, but yes i think they got each other wet and then cold they were away from the waterer and under the pile.
I just feel kind of sick they were so healthy this afternoon. I really have done this before

, never this many, but still.

Dang, that sucks... I had something like that happen before too... it happens... maybe try using a quail waterer first? That's the only big one I will start with now... so sorry...
