Thank you soo much for your comment.
Well, I had 7 babies, one died over night randomly and I have 2 very sick babies. It's like ones legs aren't working and the other one is just really wonky on its legs. Both interested in food (have been making fresh egg and biscuit daily) and I have started putting avi-vital into their water. Poos were looking really bad but since I've started on the extra things it has slightly improved. I'm pretty sure they were eating sand.... Im beside myself! Also, I had one of my red hens lay a lash egg into my lap this morning and she's not okay at all I have no car today as it's in for a service. ;( Any help/advice would be much appreciated

Welcome, I hope the chicks get better.
I always give wet chick crumble from the start. And water with electrolytes for chicks when I have a poor looking chick.

Homemade Electrolyte Recipe for Chicks:

1. 1 cup warm water.
2. 2 teaspoons molasses OR 2 teaspoons granulated sugar.
3. 1/8 teaspoon salt.
4. 1/8 teaspoon baking soda.

Welcome, and best of luck!

Do you have Corid? I would treat all for coccidiosis. Your lash egg chicken needs amoxicillin

What is corid? I haven't had a car all day. I'll go find some fish mox tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Hi all! I have a small update if anyone would like to know, had a bit of a breakthrough tonight. The wonkiest of babies stood up by itself tonight to have its dinner. It made me cry! (Happy tears)
