Health issues

I've had 2 chicks 3 weeks old die in past week. Symptoms include, the act like their just frozen very weak just sit there can barely hold their eyes open then then they die a day or so later.
Thank You

Hi. Sorry for your losses.

Sounds very much like it could be coccidiosis.... what are you feeding? How many birds in how much space? Where did the chicks come from?

Either too cold or coccidiosis is my thoughts too..

I'll put a light back on them..How do I treat coccidiosis? I'm feeding chick starter from co-op.
Thanks again!

Is it medicated Chick starter?

Can you post some photos of your brooder set-up, the chicks, their poop and the label from your feed bag?

Chicks at 3wks old probably do need some heat, what is your temperature in the brooder?

The starter feed is medicated, I don't have them in my brooder now there just in my barn stall. I should've kept a light on them I thought since they were feathered out good they no longer needed one. I'm now thinking that's probably my problem. I'm gonna get a light back on them for sure!
Thanks very much

How are they doing now? Any better with the addition of heat?
