INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[BantyChooks]

someone please make it stop. I came home from church and one of my Welsummer chicks from January that I put out with the Christmas chicks was dead with no apparent cause unless moving it scared it to death.
Inside another chick was dead and four more look listless. I have to got upstairs and check again in a minute. I just want them to stop dying. I don't know how much more I can stand.
Sorry to vent on you guys.

OH NO!!!!!
You have been having SUCH lousy luck!!!
Oh I so hope it stops..... What haven't you had go wrong?
Vent away, we are all here for you. Hang in there....

You're doing a poll....here....on how many people think you should set eggs???

You might as well just give her the eggs now

on a hatching site why bother asking the obvious answer is set the eggs.

Have to agree with Whites, especially if you loose them all.

Is it possible that something from outside is coming in on your clothes and being transferred to the chicks? Do you still have birds outside?

It seems that what ever some died of, the rest almost certainly have it as well. I would try Sulmet at this point. Great for coccidia where corrid fails as it actually kills the bacteria, rather than just stopping them growing.

I,will have a tally.who thinks I should give my broody eggs.or not.

Give her all the eggs she can handle; you're going to need all the chicks you can get to sell if you're fixing to build all those cabinet 'bators

Dax, nobody who puts as much effort into their animals as you obviously do sure doesn't deserve what's happening to your birds lately. I'm as sorry as I can be.

This is going to sound kind of drastic, I guess, but if I were in your place, I'd have to give serious consideration to totally replacing my coops (even if that meant burning them) and building new coops & runs on virgin ground. Just my opinion, FWIW

they have not been out to the coops. They are upstairs in the house. I have not been near the main coop waiting out the two weeks to clean. The only ones outside are in a mobile coop that has not been used since October long prior to the January infection.
I wonder if they came with something.
