Thanks Kathy. I am so sad still. Cleaned out everything. Wormed the chickens. A vet told me we can never eat the eggs if I worm them but I read here that many do so I did. Cleaned the coop very well. I hope no more die. We are building a 12 x 12 coop they have a 6 x 6 now and a large run gravel base we had to put new sand on the top.

Small chicks I use a size 8, almost everything else I use a 16 or 18.

I really appreciate that. I have a 4 month old Silkie that I'm treating. He's eating and drinking but I don't think he's getting enough nourishment. He's losing weight so I want to give him extra nutrition by tube feeding some Exact baby formula and electrolytes.
