How and Why did my chick die

[FarmGirl13333]

I am a new user and I was wondering how I figure out how and why my chick passed.

Hi

Glad you could join us here! Sorry to hear your chick passed away. If you could give more detail about your chick that would be very helpful. What age was your chick? Any symptoms shown? Was the chick eating, drinking and pooping ok? I'm sure if you can give more detail members will be able to help you. Our emergency, disease etc section would be a great to post ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Hope you get some answers and enjoy your time here on BYC

Well my chick was I think a week and a half old and she started limping so we separated her from the others. We gave her food and water and she was eating but not really drinking. She was pooping ok then it kinda started to slow down. We saw that she wasn't moving. She wouldn't even open her eyes, her toes were curled too. I think a couple hours later she passed

So sorry for your loss. it's always hard to lose a chick

It sounds like Mareks disease to me.
