I figure that way if they are rolling/saddled I won't need to say "HELP ASAP!!" cause I will already know what to do....

Shouldn't need to post that in the first place if you know how to read.

So he's said they didn't have a stop to get away from the heat. So maybe they overheated...she thinks their sick. But I don't know where they sickness would have came from. These are from her stock and her friends stock that she has hatched multiple times.

Yes, they need a warm place and a cool place.

Help please!
My friends chicks are all flopping over and dieing! I've tried to help her and they were getting better but all of a sudden all started dieing. This is the first time it has happened to any of us any help would be appreciated

Is your friend giving electrolytes?

How old are they?

I don't have a lot of experience, but that sounds like an electrolyte problem or a toxic ingestion. What are they drinking? If pure water, maybe add electrolytes? If not pure water, any chance the dose of whatever additive is off? Moldy bedding? (I got a thing of pine flakes once that got moldy - couldn't use it.)

Yes. They were getting better when she gave them that but now are even worse.

Thank you! Just told her what you said and she is checking.

That's what I told her. She doesn't think that's the problem because she has done about 10 hatched without a cooler spot.

If that's the case I'm surprised she hasnt had a problem with overheating prior to this.

Did you make sure they are NOT using a teflon coated bulb?

 

[Peep-Chicken]

Yes. They were getting better when she gave them that but now are even worse.

Poly-vi-sol has helped some of my chicks before too. Is their poo normal? Like not bloody(though I'm sure she would of noticed blood)?

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Welp, time to toss the eggs. Will y'all beat me over the head if I don't eggtopsy them? I don't really feel like opening 7 eggs with chicks in them.

....Just tell me to stop being silly, that is what I really need... Sigh....

It's all part of the job. Just like holding healthy baby chicks.

Have you seen them and her setup?
How many chicks?
What age? Bantam or LF?
How much space in actual dimensions?
What is the heat source in wattage? Where is it located?
Have temperature readings been taken?
Above and beyond space, what is the ventilation like?
What are they fed?
What is the bedding?
Are they using a feeder or is feed spread on the floor?
What type of water container?
