I'm so confused now.

My broiler chicks are 18 days today. One minute they are all healthy, feeding and drinking, suddenly they just go crazy, squaking noise whilst wing beating. They then flip over their back and death occurs instantly.
Anyone aware what could be the problem.

Wow. This sure does sound strange.

Any chance you could get a few pics of your chicks and their brooder? Maybe a short video showing some of these mannerisms?

What are you feeding, and how much?

How does their poop look?

Are they a Cornish cross, or some other type of rapid growth hybrid?

And every other developmental issue in the chicken world. They always look so uncomfortable.
