Hi,
Last night when I checked on the chicks all of them were up and running but when I went to check on them this morning the runt of the group was dead. Does anyone know why this might of happened?

Was the runt looking weaker or slightly lethargic yesterday?

How old are they? Sometimes runts will just suddenly crash and burn.

Hi, I think I might have figured it out I think the chick might have died to Coccidiosis.

Alright. What breed were they? We're they shipped as eggs or chicks or from your own flock? Was there anything about the egg that was unusual (size or shape)? Did it have to be assisted hatching?

They are salmon faverolle chicks and I had got the eggs at a local fair in my area. I didn't have to assist the chick with hatching and the egg had no had no unusual features.

Ok, I did some research and I think they might have been having stress poops because I had moved them to a new brooder while I clean the old one.
