From a recent thread: dying chicks - any thoughts??

I'm posting this thread here on the off chance that someone might know what this could be. I feel really bad for PP and a few others who are having the same problem.

Does anyone know what this might be or what can be done?

The first case is just shipping and how rough it can be on birds traveling via air and cold weather.

The second, is probably a disease going though or some sort of nutritional problem.
