Help please

I lost almost 20 chicks that are 4 to 6 weeks old they are in the brooder that gets cleaned often the chicks have ruffled feathers and their wings droop they also act tired and have bad balance right befor they die thier legs shrivle up and you can see their keel bone like thier wasting away i have them on corid and its not helping at all

I use purina gamebird chick starter and i use 10 ccs of liquid corid per gallon today is day 5

Shouldnt be to hot or cold i have a lamp and space they can get away from it i hatched them and nothing else in the diet i was giving electrolytes twice a week until i started giving corid

Please post clear photos that are well lit of the chicks, their poop, the brooder.

Please tell us the temperature of the brooder on the warm and the cold side.

Gamebird starter feed is around 30% protein, so it should be o.k. for chicken chicks for a month or so, but I would not feed it longer than 2 months.

Marek Disease

Not likely.
