One recently passed away they said they would replace it, they have white ones left would they be cochins or silkies?

 

[Eggcessive]

Dip their beaks in the water as often as possible. Do they seem to know where food and water is? Is there any pasty butt? Shipping stress or stuck on poop could make them weak or lethargic. White bantams could be cochins if legs are yellow or pink, and silkies if legs are black or grey. Sorry for your loss.

With the heat lamp, how far is it away from the brooder and do they have an area that’s not heated in the brooder?

Feed store chicks get put on wood chips, the chicks eat them and get sick and die.

Is there any recipe to make for chicks that will give them more energy and nutrition?
