Granny's gone and done it again

Lost an orp chick a few nights ago and an amerecauna one today. One was so pasted I had to give it a bath. I actually thought it was some sort of weird infection, because it looked and felt smooth like skin. But then it washed away. I know it wasn’t a hot brooder because I was keeping it cooler and lowered the lamp after a few were damp. But I guess it was still too late. I’ve raised the lamp a bit again so they don’t overheat tonight.
So sorry Camp, were these some of the ones that had leg problems? I am a firm believer of the heat plate warmer things. I used lamps the first year, then went to the heat plate thing. Wish I could remember what they are called :he
 
They were bad last year with the snakes and moldy feed. But in general I don’t. I also don’t usually have chicks this early. I bet later on they’ll be more vigorous. I’m getting her SS in May/June so :fl
as many deaths as you had she should give them to you.
