I ahve a brooder that has caught fire a few months back. I ahve been putting new chicks down in it. can it be jkilling my chick? They live to be about 2 to 3 days old. I ahve the front bloacked off so they have no drafts plus I have on the floor newspaper with pine shvings on top. with an heat lamp in the middle with an 100 watt bulb. I ahve been losing chciks like crazy. I even took my 12 mille and my 1 polish taht hatch out and gave to a friend that has allways had good luck raising chicks and everyone of them has died. pictures of my brooder can be seen here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=258227&p=1 should I start building a new brooder? Someone else told me it might be my inubator so I'm going to give it a good cleaning tonight.
 
I bet its the brooder, I would replace it

yep probably the brooder... the fie could have relesed a chemical of some sort that's not good for chicks to breath... what kind of wood it it?

Did you take the chicks to your friends house before putting them in your brooder?

No I had them in there for a day
