So we lost Eggbert today. He was having pasty butt issues, and he was acting just fine yesterday, then this morning he came out to eat with the others, fell on his back and was paddling the air, couldn't get back up. His butt was clear this morning, but his stomach was rock hard, and dark colored. It looks like his navel wasn't all the way healed, and I'm pretty sure it got infected
He was drinking just fine, and we were trying to give him some electrolytes, my husband wanted to start giving him antibiotics, but by the time he got home with it, he was too far gone. I feel so bad, because we could have prevented it if I had noticed it before moving to the brooder box. We have iodone...
Poor Eggbert, he was only 3 days old.
