Help! I am loosing my peeps...

[RedRoosterFarm]

I have week old JG and they have been in a brooder box for a week or so. a few days ago I noticed they were looking puffy. Then I started to loose a few. They are on medicated chick start and water. I moved them yesterday to a different area with a heat lamp and they are looking the same. Most puffy and few draging a wing. Look tired. What to do?

I would treat them with sulmet in their water--could be cocci.

I would guess cocci as well.

antibiotics first and then milk and sugar in the water.

I put some in yesterday. I must be stupid?? I thought the medicated chick start with amp took care of cocci? I have at least 80 other chicks in brooders that are just fine.
