Welcome to byc...
Im so sorry about the chicks..
Do you have a heat source for them in the brooder? Water and chick starter food?

 

[Kiki]

I am sorry.
How old/young are they?

We need more information to be able to help you. How are they being kept? Do you have a heat source on them? What, how, and how many watts? What and how are you feeding them? Do they have access to water all the time?

 

[ThatsneakyHen]

They have water access and food access at all times. They have a heat source ( does not specify the watts) and she is always running around. She is a week old. Their enviroment is cleaned every week, we use pellets and i don't know whas wrong

 

[bobbi-j]

Can you post pictures? Are you using a heat lamp, heat plate, heating pad, regular light bulb? What are you keeping her in?

 

[ThatsneakyHen]

No pic srry, but its a heat lamp 250 watts. She's in a small coop

Could be heat related deaths, then. How big is the coop? Any ventilation?

I bet you are accidentally over heating them. Get a thermometer and check the temp in the brooder. If it is over 90 F move the lamp higher/away.
